And by that I mean, "The last capitalist will sell us the rope we use to hang him" or "when our time comes, we will make no excuses for the terror". Those are bangers, to be sure, but they can't really be brought up in casual conversation. And I don't mean to construe them as overly edgy, because I understand a revolution isn't a dinner party, but I think there's something to be said sometimes for stressing the inherent humanity of communism.

Maybe I'm a little soft, but I love

"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine" - Che Guevara

and

"When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why they are poor, they call me a communist." - Helder Camara

    Very astute prediction by Joey Steel:

    What would happen if capital succeeded in smashing the Republic of Soviets? There would set in an era of the blackest reaction in all the capitalist and colonial countries, the working class and the oppressed peoples would be seized by the throat, the positions of international communism would be lost.

      With nothing to compete against, with no fear of a Communist opponent, the capitalist nations may once again enforce their full brutality upon the world.
