#Socialism
I always thought that socialism here would be peculiarly American, with some reasonable, post-industrial evolution between working-class needs and market forces. It won't be bloody like the Russian Revolution.
- Howard Fast
#Socialism
I was part of a generation that believed in socialism and finally found that belief corroded and destroyed. That is not renouncing Communism or socialism. It's reaching a certain degree of enlightenment about what the Soviet Union practices.
- Howard Fast
#Socialism

- Dan Bongino
#Socialism

- Bertie Carvel
#Socialism
I address myself to the Communists, to those Communists who were prompted to join the Party by the progressive ideas of mankind and socialism, and not by selfish personal interests - let us represent our pure and just ideas by pure and just means.
- Janos Kadar
#Socialism
Socialism is good when it comes to wages, but it tells me nothing when it comes to other questions in life that are more private and painful, for which I must seek answers elsewhere.
- Karel Capek
#Socialism
What if the Soviet intervention was a blessing in disguise? It saved the myth that if the Soviets were not to intervene, there would have been some flowering authentic democratic socialism and so on. I'm a little bit more of a pessimist there. I think that the Soviets - it's a very sad lesson - by their intervention, saved the myth.
- Slavoj Zizek
#Socialism
When I talked to my medical friends about the strange silence on this subject in American medical magazines and textbooks, I gained the impression that here was a subject tainted with Socialism or with feminine sentimentality for the poor.
- Alice Hamilton
#Socialism
I'm against having a Fed. It's socialism in its worst form. But until the Fed is gotten rid of, the only economic variable the poor have to counteract the injustices of the Fed is the minimum wage law.
- Max Keiser
#Socialism
I suppose not everyone has a dad who wrote a book saying he didn't believe in the Parliamentary road to socialism.
- Ed Miliband
#Socialism
While there's capitalism, there'll be socialism, because there is always a response to injustice.
- Ed Miliband
#Socialism
There just isn't a version of 'socialism in one country' around in the 21st century. I think it's really important that we don't fall for this nirvana of 'Let's just get out, and we can create a socialist Britain.'
- Ed Miliband
#Socialism
First, then, State Socialism, which may be described as the doctrine that all the affairs of men should be managed by the government, regardless of individual choice.
- Benjamin Tucker
#Socialism
Republicans paint everything that Democrats have been for as socialism, too far to the left, as extreme, and it didn't matter how moderated it was; it didn't matter that Obamacare started out as a compromise. You might as well say what you're actually for and show what you really are.
- Jon Lovett
#Socialism
Socialism is undoubtedly in the throes of a crisis greater than at any time since 1917. The last half of 1989 saw the dramatic collapse of most of the communist party governments of Eastern Europe.
- Joe Slovo

- B. Carroll Reece
#Socialism
As the egalitarianism of Marxism is attractive to many, socialism could have attracted many followers in America, anyway. But there is no doubt that it could not possibly have affected us so widely and so deeply as it has, had it not been heavily financed.
- B. Carroll Reece
#Socialism
Communism is a way of thinking. Socialism is wimpy communism. When you don't have the courage to become a communist, you become a socialist.
- Jaggi Vasudev
#Socialism

The most influential utopian idea of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries was socialism, which has failed everywhere. Under the banner of socialism, Stalin's U.S.S.R. and Mao's China gave us not utopias but ghastly anti-utopias.
- Steven Weinberg
#Socialism
I can only say, think of me what you will, I have worked for thirty years in the Party, and my whole family has devoted everything to the affairs of the Party, the affairs of socialism.

- Louis Navellier
#Socialism
People like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been very busy educating America about just how much socialism we have, from Social Security to Medicare to public schools to public universities, and how much we love that. The truth is that there is no pure socialist or capitalist economy on earth.
- Lawrence O'Donnell
#Socialism
There are a few people, but a diminishing number, who still believe that Marxism, as an economic system, off era a coherent alternative to capitalism, and socialism has, indeed, triumphed in one country.
- Herbert Read
#Socialism
You've got Washington picking winners and losers. And so, all of a sudden, decisions are being made on what helps politicians, not what helps the economy. Some will call it socialism. Some will call it a command and control economy. Whatever it is, it's antithetical to the American experience.
- Jeb Hensarling
#Socialism
The working class will not halt until socialism has been realized.
- Ernst Toller
#Socialism

#Socialism
I can understand Communism, but not Socialism.
- Lajos Kossuth
#Socialism
The first issue to be settled is whether socialism has a right to exist Are its allegations concerning the present system true? Is industry proceeding on a principle of fraud? I wish to test the power of recent economic theory to give an exact answer to this question.
- John Bates Clark
#Socialism
This much I would say: Socialism has failed all over the world. In the eighties, I would hear every day that there is no inflation in the Soviet Union, there is no poverty in the Soviet Union, there is no unemployment in the Soviet Union. And now we find that, due to Socialism, there is no Soviet Union!
- Subramanian Swamy
#Socialism
I made the case for public ownership in 'Another World is Possible' - a manifesto for 21st-century socialism - as it is the most rational approach for managing resources in the long-term interest of the entire community.
- John McDonnell
#Socialism
'Democratic socialism' is awful as a slogan and catastrophic as a policy. And 'social democracy' - a term that better fits the belief of more ordinary liberals who want, say, Medicare for all - is a politically dying force. Democrats who aren't yet sick of all their losing should feel free to embrace them both.
- Bret Stephens
#Socialism

#Socialism
Wherever socialism spread, misery followed - and still follows.

#Socialism
To put it bluntly, there isn't one economic theory that can single-handedly explain Singapore's success; its economy combines extreme features of capitalism and socialism. All theories are partial; reality is complex.

#Socialism
The only differences one can and should allow in socialism are between hard working people and idlers and between honest people and dishonest people.
- Slobodan Milosevic

- Trish Regan
#Socialism
The argument that any income redistribution is tantamount to socialism, and that socialism has always been unAmerican, has helped legitimise keeping taxes on America's very wealthy very low.

#Socialism
I must firmly adhere to the views I have held and practice, that Socialism to succeed must be practical, tolerant, cohesive and consciously compromising with Progressive forces running, if not so far, in parallel lines towards its own goal.
- John Burns
#Socialism
I recognise that Socialism has ended its purely theoretical course, and that the hour to construct has come.
- John Burns
#Socialism
Socialism appeals to better classes and has far more strength. Attack the state and you excite feelings of loyalty even among the disaffected classes; but attack the industrial system and appeal to the state, and you may have loyalty in your favor.
- John Bates Clark
#Socialism
Socialism and communism fall of their own weight because, as Margaret Thatcher said, you run out of other people's money. Because socialized medicine never falls of its own weight because you put people on lists, and they die waiting to get the treatment and care. So you don't go broke.
- Louie Gohmert
#Socialism
Socialism is the religion people get when they lose their religion.
- Richard John Neuhaus
#Socialism
Socialism is simply Communism for people without the testosterone to man the barricades.
- Gary North
#Socialism
Everybody in this society that has been lurching toward socialism and collectivism for 40 years has their hand out. And the propensity of Congress is to spend, spend, elect, elect. That hasn't changed, and it isn't going to change for a long time.
- William E. Simon
#Socialism
But Socialism, alone, can bring self-determination of their peoples.
- Karl Liebknecht
#Socialism
Capitalism is war; socialism is peace.
- Karl Liebknecht
#Socialism
Socialism is a fraud, a comedy, a phantom, a blackmail.
- Benito Mussolini
#Socialism
The harsh reality is that socialism not only destroys economic freedom, it severely limits the capability of everyone to reach maximum potential. It's a system that doesn't provide more, but instead vastly less.
- Katie Pavlich
#Socialism
Socialism as such from its very origins is a workers' system, and when there occur deviations, it is workers that react first.
- Wojciech Jaruzelski
#Socialism
If you want government to take everything, if you want government to take more and more over with the banks, more of the industries, all of a sudden you're going to have a government auto czar, right there, right down the line, that's socialism.
- Bob Latta
#Socialism
Socialism is when government's taking care of you, you send all your money to the government, the government decides how to spend it instead of letting the people spend it and make all those decisions.

#Socialism

#Socialism
The left is back, and it's the only path we have to get out of the spot to which the right has sunken us. Socialism builds and capitalism destroys.
- Hugo Chavez
#Socialism
The only way to save the world is through socialism, but a socialism that exists within a democracy; there's no dictatorship here.
- Hugo Chavez
#Socialism
The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a concern for what is good for the country.
- Lyn Nofziger
#Socialism
Voluntaryism is the idea that all human interactions should be free of coercion, based on individual self-ownership. This is in contrast to socialism, which is based on coercion justified by collective ownership.
- Roger Ver
#Socialism
Socialism requires that government becomes your god.
- Rafael Cruz
#Socialism
Socialism and freedom are not compatible, regardless of repeated convincings.
- Alija Izetbegovic
#Socialism
Socialism has no moral justification whatsoever; poor people are not morally superior to rich people, nor are they owed anything by rich people simply because of their lack of success. Charity is not a socialist concept - it is a religious one, an acknowledgment of God's sovereignty over property, a sovereignty the Left utterly rejects.
- Ben Shapiro
#Socialism
Socialism is not a way of life. It is an unworkable formula which would apply to robots but not to men and women.
- Malcolm Fraser
#Socialism
We modern Marxists regard socialism as a historically brief transitional stage between feudalism and capitalism, necessary only in backward countries.
- John McCarthy
#Socialism
I think many of the virtues and values of the army are very similar to the virtues and values of socialism, of the Labour Party. It's about looking out for each other, it's about working as a team, it's about understanding.
- Clive Lewis
#Socialism
It is time we had democratic socialism for working families, not just Wall Street billionaires.
- Bernie Sanders
#Socialism
Democratic socialism means that we must reform a political system that is corrupt, that we must create an economy that works for all, not just the very wealthy.
- Bernie Sanders
#Socialism
To pursue a so-called Third Way is foolish. We had our experience with this in the 1960s when we looked for a socialism with a human face. It did not work, and we must be explicit that we are not aiming for a more efficient version of a system that has failed.
- Vaclav Klaus
#Socialism
I was guilty of judging capitalism by its operations and socialism by its hopes and aspirations; capitalism by its works and socialism by its literature.
- Sidney Hook
#Socialism
We're dealing with whether we're going to accept the idea of socialism and Marxism and atheism. Or go back to the American way, Judeo-Christian values, which meritocracy is part of it. The idea that content and character and talent are colorblind.
- Burgess Owens
#Socialism
Socialism means government dependency, rationed resources, and exorbitant taxation. It means the destruction of every incentive to achieve.
- Rachel Campos-Duffy
#Socialism
Socialism is the antithesis of opportunity and it's time to reject this failed and dangerous idea once and for all.

#Socialism
The 19th century was the age of Individualism; the 20th and 21st are the ages of Socialism.
- Francis Parker Yockey
#Socialism
Austria used to see itself as the first victim of National Socialism. That is certainly true for all those who fought in the resistance, whom we cannot thank enough, and who will always be shining examples. But... the ones who stood in such great numbers and celebrated in March 1938 in Heroes' Square were no victims.
- Sebastian Kurz
#Socialism
Like the phoenix, socialism is reborn from every pile of ashes left day in, day out, by burnt-out human dreams and charred hopes.
- Zygmunt Bauman
#Socialism
People focus on the labels when they are not sure what they mean. What people call socialism these days is Eisenhower Republicanism!

- George Reisman
#Socialism
I am for socialism, disarmament, and, ultimately, for abolishing the state itself... I seek the social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and the sole control of those who produce wealth. Communism is the goal.

Libertarian socialism is properly to be regarded as the inheritor of the liberal ideals of the Enlightenment.
- Noam Chomsky
#Socialism
The only fundamental and possible socialism is the socialisation of the selective breeding of man.

#Socialism
Socialism never arises in the earlier phases of capitalism, as, for instance, among the pioneers of civilisation in a country where there is plenty of land available for private appropriation by the last comer.
- George Bernard Shaw
#Socialism
In socialism, private property is anathema, and equal distribution of income the first consideration. In capitalism, private property is cardinal, and distribution left to ensue from the play of free contract and selfish interest on that basis, no matter what anomalies it may present.
- George Bernard Shaw
#Socialism
Socialism is the same as Communism, only better English.
- George Bernard Shaw
