No one yet has learned to drive a locomotive sitting in his study. — Leon Trotsky

Repression for the attainment of economic ends is a necessary weapon of the socialist dictatorship.

The dictatorship is necessary because it is a case, not of partial changes, but of the very existence of the bourgeoisie. No agreement is possible on this ground. Only force can be the deciding factor.

In times of peace, the capitalists used to guarantee their interests by means of the "peaceful" robbery of hired labor. During the war they served those same interests by means of the destruction of countless human lives.
