"The Inherent vice of capitalisms is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent value of socialism is equal sharing of miseries" -Winston Churchhill (Page 500)

Having seen both types of system I could say that this is accurate to a degree, my main issue is wording as he is clearly referring to communist countries like Russia which are on the socialist side of the spectrum but the inefficiencies of the system are due to more so the communist aspects rather than the socialist aspects of the system. Other than that the basis is found to be true.


"We don't allow our enemies to have guns. Why should we allow them to have ideas?" - Joseph Stalin (Page 499)

This quote made me laugh as it is so insanely out of touch with modern reality and any aspect of freedom as he would like to completely restrict freedom in everyway possible even the freedom one has in his or her mind. This of course was said to try to give him a better moral standing for what he does on the daily, kill innocent people that don't believe in his cause. "People can die, but ideas never die"
