Revolution must mean life also; every aspect of life. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7765

Andrei Yanuaryevich Vyshinsky: The Soviet state represents the expression of the highest possible form of democracy. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7782

Stephen O’Neil: Despite their traditional political image, the Fabians, under the impetus of Sidney Webb, thought that they had a new and unique weapon in the policy of permeation. It was through the utilization of this tactic, according to Webb, that the Fabians, in the spirit of the Trojans and their legendary horse, would enter the ranks and minds of the politically influential by providing them with programs, ideas, opinion, and research heavily documented with statistics which could be conveniently drafted into public policy. https://wordsmith.social/protestation/quotes#quote7788
