Revolution Quotes
-
By destroying the peasant economy and driving the peasant from the country to the town, the famine creates a proletariat... Furthermore the famine can and should be a progressive factor not only economically. It will force the peasant to reflect on the bases of the capitalist system, demolish faith in the tsar and tsarism, and consequently in due course make the victory of the revolution easier... Psychologically all this talk about feeding the starving and so on essentially reflects the usual sugary sentimentality of our intelligentsia.
Vladimir Lenin

I sympathize the first, the direct and single-minded attack Red Revolution. I believe it to have been necessary and inevitable in Russia. It may someday be inevitable in this country United States of America.

A better economic order is worth a little bloodshed.

We've seen so many revolutions and wars. We need decades of calm and harmonious development.

Most of the experts agree that strategy will have to become more "adaptive", meaning that strategies will change faster based on information from people on the corporation's front lines - dealing with customers, fending off competitors.

Walter Kiechel
