Mao Zedong
“On the pretext of "combating the personality cult", Khrushchev has defamed the dictatorship of the proletariat and the socialist system and thus in fact paved the way for the restoration of capitalism in the Soviet Union. In completely negating Stalin, he has in fact negated Marxism-Leninism which was upheld by Stalin and opened the floodgates for the revisionist deluge.”
Mao Zedong, On Khrushchev’s Phony Communism

“In the final analysis, truth will always triumph in mankind’s historical progress. Soviet literature’s strength lies in the fact that it offers the world the truth about Soviet man, the Soviet way of life, and communism.”
Albert Belyaev, The Ideological Struggle and Literature: A Critical Analysis of the Writings of US Sovietologists

Joseph Stalin
“Strikes, boycott, parliamentarism, meetings and demonstrations are all good forms of struggle as means for preparing and organising the proletariat. But not one of these means is capable of abolishing existing inequality. All these means must be concentrated in one principal and decisive means; the proletariat must rise and launch a determined attack upon the bourgeoisie in order to destroy capitalism to its foundations. This principal and decisive means is the socialist revolution. The socialist revolution must not be conceived as a sudden and short blow, it is a prolonged struggle waged by the proletarian masses, who inflict defeat upon the bourgeoisie and capture its positions.”
Joseph Stalin, Anarchism or Socialism?

Grover Furr
“Stalin's successes and failures must be not just re-studied; they have yet to be discovered and acknowledged.”
Grover Furr, Khrushchev Lied

Mao Zedong
“Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak?”
Mao Zedong
