The Rope-Sellers

“The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.”

The quote above – alluded to earlier here in an article by WL Houston – is generally attributed to Vladimir Lenin. If so, it is without doubt one of the wisest observations ever made by the Communist leader. Capitalists repeatedly seek short-term profit even if the result is long-term disaster.
