The Jewish bourgeoisie are our enemies, not as Jews but as bourgeoisie. The Jewish worker is our brother.
Those who are opposed to armed uprising ... must be ruthlessly kicked out as enemies, traitors and cowards.
No mercy for these enemies of the people, the enemies of socialism, the enemies of the working people! War to the death against the rich and their hangers-on, the bourgeois intellectuals; war on the rogues, the idlers and the rowdies!
A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie.
If we can effectively kill the national pride and patriotism of just one generation, we will have won that country.

When there is state there can be no freedom, but when there is freedom there will be no state.
While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State.

It is at moments of need that one learns who one's friends are. Defeated armies learn their lesson.
The establishment of a central bank is 90% of communizing a nation.
If Socialism can only be realized when the intellectual development of all the people permits it, then we shall not see Socialism for at least five hundred years.
