Today in History, March 5th 1953

The Most Powerful Man of the 20th Century died on this day.  Socialism’s greatest champion.

Dear old Uncle Joe.

The man feared by all. So feared that no one dared enter his room because he ordered them not to without his permission. He laid in a puddle of his own urine for over 12 hours.

But he certainly knew how get thing done.

“The press must grow day in and day out – it is our Party’s sharpest and most powerful weapon”
“To choose one’s victims, to prepare one’s plan minutely, to slake an implacable vengeance, and then to go to bed… There is nothing sweeter in the world.

“Voters decide nothing. Vote counters decide everything!”

“If the opposition disarms, well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.”
“Education is a weapon the effect of which is determined by the hands which wield it, by who is to be struck down.”
As we’ve been told we’ve only twelve years to save the planet.
Bernie says that you “cannot go too far to save the planet”.

If only “Uncle Joe ” were alive.  He would be able to “save the planet”. 

Remember that a giant of Socialism died this day.
