My interest is not in the capture of power, but in the control of power by the people.

Power comes invariably to be usurped by a handful of the most ruthless among the erstwhile revolutionaries when power comes out of the barrel of a gun and the gun is not in the hands of the common people.

It [Communism] did not offer an answer to the question: Why should a man be good?

A violent revolution has always brought forth a dictatorship of some kind or the other... . After a revolution, a new privileged class of rulers and exploiters grows up in the course of time to which the people at large is once again subject.
