Communist society will know nothing of money.

The ABC of Communism (1919)

In our system of universal military training, barrack life must be reduced to a minimum, so that ultimately the Red barracks may completely disappear.

The great majority of crimes committed in bourgeois society are either direct infringements of property rights or are indirectly connected with property.

We see now that infringement of freedom is necessary with regard to the opponents of the revolution. At a time of revolution we cannot allow freedom for the enemies of the people and of the revolution. That is a surely clear, irrefutable conclusion.

Programme of the World Revolution (1918)

The political commissars are the representatives of the class will of the proletariat in the army; they are mandated by the party and the military centres.
