We have always known that heedless self-interest was bad morals; we know now that it is bad economics.

I have always noticed that whenever a radical takes to Imperialism, he catches it in a very acute form.

The true law of economics is chance, and we learned people arbitrarily seize on a few moments and establish them as laws.

The threat to our safety, and to the hope of a peaceful world, can be simply stated. It is communist imperialism. This threat is not something imagined by critics of the Soviets.

If the foundations of the Free World structure were progressively allowed to crumble under the pressure of communist imperialism, the entire house of freedom would be in danger of collapse.

When the speeches of Wilson, Clemenceau, and Lloyd George, the worst of the predators, the wild beasts of imperialism, are repeated here by Martov in the name of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party ... then I say to myself that we have to be on the alert and to realise that the Cheka is indispensable!
