Communism/theory

Famous quotes containing the words communism and/or theory:

“Let’s not talk about Communism. Communism was just an idea, just pie in the sky.”
—Boris Yeltsin (b. 1931)

“It is not enough for theory to describe and analyse, it must itself be an event in the universe it describes. In order to do this theory must partake of and become the acceleration of this logic. It must tear itself from all referents and take pride only in the future. Theory must operate on time at the cost of a deliberate distortion of present reality.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
