Most people who read "The Communist Manifesto" probably have no idea that it was written by a couple of young men who had never worked a day in their lives, and who nevertheless spoke boldly in the name of "the workers".
Thomas Sowell
I have a high state of resentment for the conformity in this country. If you`re not married and having children, it`s like your life is empty or you`re a communist meanie.
Bill Maher
If you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that one day we would become Communist. (speaking to students at the University of Michigan in 1970)
Jane Fonda
[Regarding the invasion of the USSR] We must forget the concept of comradeship between soldiers. A Communist is no comrade before or after this battle. This is a war of annihilation.
Adolf Hitler
It seems to me the people in the [Communist] Party not only know what`s going on in the world but they have the guts to determine a course of action.... In Yugoslavia...when the going got rough and it was time to be counted, it was the Communists who stoo...
Sterling Hayden
I think it would be a good idea [to ban the Communist Party in the United States], although I have never read Karl Marx and I don`t know the basis of Communism, beyond what I have picked up from hearsay. From what I hear, I don`t like it because it isn`t ...
Gary Cooper
[on the studios` blacklisting of alleged "subversives" in Hollywood] If it is for the FBI, I will do anything for them. If they want me to I will even be photographed with an agent and point out a Communist for them. Tell Mr. Hoover [FBI Director J. Edgar...
John Wayne
On confessing his Communist ties before Congress: "I don`t think you have the foggiest notion of the contempt I have had for myself since the day I did that thing." (and years later:) "It`s the one thing in my life that I`m categorically ashamed of."
Sterling Hayden
Chaplin has given great pleasure to millions of people, and I hope he returns to Hollywood. Personally, I don`t think he is a Communist, but whatever his political affiliations, they are secondary to the fact that he is a great entertainer. We should not ...
Cary Grant
[regarding his short-term membership in the Communist party in the 1930s]: "I went to about five or six meetings. When I got bored at home I`d go to a meeting."
Marc Lawrence
We must have the time to create strict rules so that property is not sold by Communist managers for a low price. They often get payments under the table to sell to the first bidder. This does not build public support for a market economy.
Andrew Harrington
This is the basis, and I am not being tried for whether I am a Communist, I am being tried for fighting for the rights of my people, who are still second-class citizens in this United States of America.
Paul Robeson
They have found absolutely nothing to connect us with the Communist Party of the United States. In regards to your question about whether I myself am a communist, as I said I do not belong to any other organization.
Lee Oswald

Lee Oswald
There isn`t much in the way of pure communist spirit, because the whole nation seems to be engaged in capitalistic enterprises. Much of the country still operates under government control.
Iris Chang
the throwback feel of a mission during the Cold War, when American officials saw their main job as bolstering the hemisphere`s governments against leftist insurgencies and Communist infiltration. During stops in Paraguay and Peru, Mr. Rumsfeld and his aid...
David Gould
The Communist Workers Party had a racial and economic analysis that was all too true. We`ve seen this with what has happened with Hurricane Katrina.
Arthur Holder
The Communist Party said that I must finish my studies because after the revolution in Germany people would be required with technical knowledge to take part in the building of the Communist Germany.

Some time before this I had also joined a student organization which contained members of the S.P.D. as well as members of the Communist Party.
