There is no genocide without premeditation. The murders are not unfortunate coincidences. This is why it is called 'mass MURDER' and not 'mass MANSLAUGHTER.","author":"A.E.

It was in the early days after the communists—maybe a week after—and she wore a yellow sweater that was kind of see-through.

I remember a woman in easy circumstances saying to another even more affluent: 'After the revolution even we will have more, won't we, dear?' Then there was another lover of proletarians who used to raise hell with Sunday picknickers on her property.I guess the trouble was that we didn't have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew—at least they claimed to be Communists—couldn't have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves.","author":"John Steinbeck","tags":["1960","bourgeois","class-struggle","class-warfare","communists","frequently-misquoted","hypocrisy","socialism"],"id":274559,"author_id":"John+Steinbeck"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":17,"pages":2,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
