Not everybody can be buried in the Kremlin, and he’s the only American buried there… born in Portland, Oregon… isn’t that something?
Profits.
PROPERTY IS THEFT — WALK IN.
Revolution is dissent.
This one even pees red.
When you seperate a man from what he loves the most, what you do is purge what’s unique in him, and when you purge what’s unique in him, you purge dissent, and when you purge dissent, you kill the revolution and revolution IS dissent, you don’t re-write what I write!!!…
