I got them all right, so what's the point?

WHO SAID IT? Obama, Marx, or Stalin?

1. “The human being is in the most literal sense a political animal, not merely a gregarious animal, but an animal which can individuate itself only in the midst of society.”
2. “The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
3. “In bourgeois (capitalist) society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.”
4. “From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his need.”
5. “Democracy is the road to socialism.”
6. “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
7. “WORKERS OF ALL LANDS UNITE.”
8. “THE PHILOSOPHERS HAVE ONLY INTERPRETED THE WORLD IN VARIOUS WAYS - THE POINT HOWEVER IS TO CHANGE IT.”
9. “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
10. “The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.”
11. “Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division ;and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts.”
12. “The great task before our founders was putting into practice the ideal that government could simultaneously serve liberty and advance the common good. and Government, he believed, had an important role to play in advancing our common prosperity.”
13. “I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.”
14. “Yes, our greatness as a nation has depended on individual initiative, on a belief in the free market. But it has also depended on our sense of mutual regard for each other, of mutual responsibility. The idea that everybody has a stake in the country, that we’re all in it together and everybody’s got a shot at opportunity. Americans know this. We know that government can’t solve all our problems - and we don’t want it to. But we also know that there are some things we can’t do on our own. We know that there are some things we do better together.”
15. *** BONUS QUOTE- tricky one here: “We’ll be there a century, hopefully. If it works right. I’ll tell you one thing, that it is not something we should hope for, and that’s a democratic Iraq. When I hear the president talking about democracy, the last thing we should want is an election in Iraq. I mean, we’re not very popular. So I don’t think we’ll see any open elections in Iraq for a long time. And hopefully, over time they can be brought along like Japan and Germany - Japan and Germany were relatively easy, I think, and South Korea. Here were autocratic governments brought around to really nice democracies, successful democracies. Creating a successful democracy in Iraq is going to take longer, and we may be there longer as a consequence.”
