Eric Hoffer on Vladimir Lenin

“Lenin sprung a leak in the cesspool of Russian history and the stench has poisoned the civilized world.”

“The monstrous evils of the twentieth century have shown us that the greediest money grubbers are gentle doves compared with money-hating wolves like Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler, who in less than three decades killed or maimed nearly a hundred million men, women, and children and brought untold suffering to a large portion of mankind.”
