- Como diz o dito popular: “Um assassino deve pagar com a sua vida e um devedor pagar com dinheiro.” Se o Partido Comunista aplicasse verdadeiramente a lei, ele seria responsabilizado e condenado por sua sangrenta história. – Como o espectro do comunismo está governando o nosso mundo, Capítulo Dez: Usando a lei para o mal
- A common saying goes: “A murderer must pay with his life, just as a debtor with money.” Were the Communist Party to truly enforce the law, it would become liable for its bloody history.
