Eric Hoffer on Vladimir Lenin

“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.”

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