Was curious if there were any quotes that we’d like to share.
It’s pretty hard to find anything from Stalin for example that isn’t blatantly made up to demonize him.

Most epic quote ever:
“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.” - lenin
favorite usable quote:
“it is said that cameras don’t lie, but we must remember that liars use cameras” - michael parenti (could use it with statistics too since many people like to parrot that stats don’t lie)
bonus quote:
“With software there are only two possibilites: either the users control the programme or the programme controls the users. If the programme controls the users, and the developer controls the programme, then the programme is an instrument of unjust power.” - Richard Stallman ( not a socialist at all )
on pragmatism i like this one by deng, thought it could be confused with machiavellism:
“It doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice.” - Deng Xiaoping
Came here to say the Lenin one. The Parenti one made me lol, great quote as well
