DAGENS CITAT:"Every communist must grasp the truth;
Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party. Yet, having guns, we can create Party organizations, as witness the powerful Party organizations which the Eighth Route Army has created in northern China. We can also create cadres, create schools, create culture, create mass movements. Everything in Yenan has been created by having guns.
All things grow out of the barrel of a gun."

Precis vad jag tänkte säga.
åh, men se...
se jag allmänbildar er ju bara.
vad är väl en IC:are/ungdom i Umeå [f.d. sveriges vänsterhuvudstad] - om man den inte känner till minst ett klassiskt kommunistcitat.
All things grow out of the barrel of a gun.
Jag tycker det ett viktigt citat att ha lagt på minnet.
Nej, en IC:are utan citat är ingenting. Du har materialiserat oss, och vi är tacksamma.
