Just as a blacksmith cannot seize the red hot iron in his naked hand, so the proletariat cannot directly seize the power; it has to have an organisation accommodated to this task. The co-ordination of the mass insurrection with the conspiracy, the subordination of the conspiracy to the insurrection, the organisation of the insurrection through the conspiracy, constitutes that complex and responsible department of revolutionary politics which Marx and Engels called “the art of insurrection.” It presupposes a correct general leadership of the masses, a flexible orientation in changing conditions, a thought-out plan of attack, cautiousness in technical preparation, and a daring blow.

We regard this congress as a major historical event because it shows that now it is not only the advanced workers and working peasants of Europe and America who are awakening, but, at last, we have all lived to see the day of the awakening not just of individuals but of tens and hundreds of thousands, millions of the working elements of the peoples of the East — the peoples who make up the majority of the population of the entire globe and who therefore are alone in a position finally to settle the dispute between labour and capital.

Following this Revolution, the slogan 'the dictatorship of the proletariat' is no longer a utopia but a reality which all the bourgeois classes everywhere must reckon with. The Revolution marks only the beginning of the great struggle to liberate the proletariat from the yoke of capitalism. It is of vital importance for the proletariat of every country that the Bolsheviks should emerge from this struggle victorious. This victory will also deal a lethal blow to world imperialism.

For the Proletariat!

Our Soviet bureaucratic machine is unique, complex, containing as it does the traditions of different epochs together with the germs of future relationships. With us, civility, as a general rule, does not exist. But of rudeness, inherited from the past, we have as much as you please.

All talk to the effect that we should accept a united front with the masses but not with the leaders is sheer scholasticism. This is like saying that we agree to conduct strikes against the capitalists but refuse to enter into negotiations with them. It is impossible to lead strike struggles without entering at a certain moment into negotiations with the capitalists or their plenipotentiaries. It is just as impossible to summon the organized masses to a united struggle without entering into negotiations with those whom a particular section of the mass has made its plenipotentiaries.

~Dzhokhar

For thousands of years humankind's finest minds have been struggling with the theoretical problem of finding the forms that would give peoples the possibility, without the greatest of torment, without internecine strife, of living side by side in friendship and brotherhood. Practically speaking, the first step in this direction is only being taken now, today.

~Kalinin

La Commune, one of the most important papers at the time of the Paris Commune, said, in anticipation of that proletarian uprising: ‘The Commune was not fighting for the Republic, but for the Revolution.’ That was an unusually pertinent remark. It is the more notable because it was published on March 31, 1871, two weeks before the actual outbreak of the revolt. Yes, it was not the Republic but the Revolution that was the issue. The object was no bourgeois-republican upsetting of the Government, but the beginning of a true proletarian emancipation. It was a movement that by its profundity and by its historical significance for the first time attained the dignity of a real Revolution.

Temptation to change display name to Leonid Brezhnev.

Clinical death and huge eyebrows.

We all share everything. All of us are equal.

~John

Comrade, just as the trapezium law dictates an estimated value for the area beneath a curve rather than the exact value given by integration; the current rule of the proletariat is an estimated value for true Communism. You must understand that with imperfection, there will be winners.

Da, Tovarisch. Ve haf Rebelled.

Erik Delko is going to love it when he sees this.

I believe april fools needs moar lobster

Uhm, I am highly disappointed. Why am I not a party member.

Why didn't I have a choice on whether I wanted to be a comrade or not. I am appalled.

The people chose for you, comrade.

My Comrades, our Day of Glory has come. Long live the Red Army!

Alexei

Finally! I thought the day would never come...

Damn the capitalist pigs.

But what if the group that chose you, decided that the group that was chosen for the chosen member was incorrect, therefore allowing the possibility of me not being known as a comrade?

So many sythes... ghasts need to be more careful

I was hoping for something better. Wow, you changed our pips.. That fool'ed my good..

Hail to the Motherland! Let the world feel her might!

You disagree with our actions? You will be dispersed unto Siberia for this pitiful disrespect of Marx's theory.

Viva la Iron Curtain
It's back up!

The Politburo is informed of your request to be labeled an enemy of the People.

~Mikhail

What's Soviet Union and Communism?

In Soviet Russia...

Good, they finally found out I'm a spy of Desaustria. The incompetent fools running this joint couldn't tell a chicken from cheese! I'm outta here.

Where's Soviet Russia?

When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. Political power, properly so called, is merely the organized power of one class for oppressing another. If the proletariat during its contest with the bourgeoisie is compelled, by the force of circumstances, to organize itself as a class, if, by means of a revolution, it makes itself the ruling class, and, as such, sweeps away by force the old conditions of production, then it will, along with these conditions, have swept away the conditions for the existence of class antagonisms and of classes generally, and will thereby have abolished its own supremacy as a class.

-Karl

In Soviet Sal's, you ban mods!

Can you make me an American?

PATRIOTS!

We will crush you capitalist pigs under the mighty boot of the Red Army!
