Famous quotes containing the words democratic and/or party:
“There’s no such thing as socialism pure
Except as an abstraction of the mind.
There’s only democratic socialism,
Monarchic socialism, oligarchic
The last being what they seem to have in Russia.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“If the Soviet Union let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one-party state, because everybody would join the other party.”
