“No communist, no matter how many votes he should secure in a national election, could, even if he would, become president of the present government. When a communist heads the government of the United States–and that day will come just as surely as the sun rises–the government will not be a capitalist government but a Soviet government, and behind this government will stand the Red Army to enforce the dictatorship of the proletariat.”
— Sworn statement by William Z. Foster, head of the Communist Party of the United States, 1945-1947

— William Z. Foster
“A US Department of Education – implementation of a scientific materialist philosophy; studies, being cleansed of religious,
patriotic and other features of the bourgeois ideology; students taught on the basis of Marxian dialectical materialism,
internationalism and general ethics of a new socialist society; present obsolete methods of teaching will be superseded by a
scientific pedagogy.”
— William Z. Foster
“I am not naturally a man of violence, but there is one thing from the thought of which I shrink more than from violence or its consequences, and that is the thought that our people may not rise to throw off the death that is being clamped upon them.”
— William Gayley Simpson
