~ Niall Ferguson
The aim of Cold War competition in the third world was not to win a contest between rival models of economic development but above all to fill(...) a spiritual void, for even Communism has made many more converts through the theological quality of Marxism than through the materialistic aspect on which it prides itself.
~ Niall Ferguson
La retórica europea de los nazis halló especial resonancia en todos aquellos conservadores para quienes el dominio alemán parecía un mal menor frente al comunismo soviético.

Essentially, we took two peoples Ã¢â'¬â€œ the Koreans and the Germans Ã¢â'¬â€œ and divided them in two. South Koreans and West Germans got capitalist institutions; North Koreans and East Germans got communist ones. The divergence that occurred in the space of just a few decades was enormous.

~ Upton Sinclair
two principal problems. First problem: To produce wealth. Second problem: To distribute it.... England solves the first of these two problems. She creates wealth wonderfully; she distributes it badly.... [she has] a grandeur ill constituted, in which all the material elements are combined, and into which no moral element enters. Communism think they have solved the second problem. They are mistaken. They destroy production...
~ Victor Hugo
Communism and agrarian law think that they solve the second problem. They are mistaken. Their division kills production. Equal partition abolishes emulation; and consequently labor. It is a partition made by the butcher, which kills that which it divides. It is therefore impossible to pause over these pretended solutions. Slaying wealth is not the same thing as dividing it. The
~ Victor Hugo
Such a colossal irony: after socialists and Communists in the 1930s and then the New Left in the 1960s had tried and failed to achieve a radical class-based reordering of the American political economy, the economic far right took its shot at doing that in the 1970s and succeeded beyond anyone's wildest hope or fear.
~ Kurt Andersen
