“This marks the end of the post-communist era.”
Jan Rokita
“First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”
Martin Niemoeller
“First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists, but I was neither, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews, but I was not a Jew so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both honest and intelligent.”
George Orwell
“How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”
Ronald Reagan
“I am not a communist and neither is the revolutionary movement.”
Fidel Castro
“Any pitcher who throws at a batter and deliberately tries to hit him is a communist.”
