Vladimir Lenin and America Today

So take a look at some quotes below from Vladimir Lenin and think about the situation we find ourselves in now.  Is it mere coincidence that things are being done as they are:

"One man with a gun can control 100 without one. "

"The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses. "

"The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. "

 "It is true that liberty is precious; so precious that it must be carefully rationed."

"The goal of socialism is communism. "

"The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses. "

"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation. "

"To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities; that is not to be taken seriously in politics. "

"Under socialism all will govern in turn and will soon become accustomed to no one governing." 

"When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward - or go back. He who now talks about the freedom of the press goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism." 

Any cook should be able to run the country."

These next two seem to be right out of the NEA playbook.

"Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted. "

"Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever."
