BEST MOMENTS

"I loathe the way mainstream news programs give us one angle and labour each point for five minutes or more so that viewers are brainwashed in three different ways."

"If we aren't actually at war at the moment, how close are we? Am I talking about Civil War or World War III? Well, take your pick."

"Political correctness was allowed to take control. We even joked about it, although it was annoying."

"The Communists openly declare that their ends can be obtained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions."

"Many people think communism died with the USSR near the end of the last century, and many never saw it as a threat."
