UN General Assembly

110. Yes, we who represent the countries of socialism have waged and will continue to wage a relentless struggle for the triumph of the ideals of socialism and communism. We shall accept no ideological compromise, any more than we demand that our ideological opponents shall renounce their own ideologies under threat of force. We are appealing for something else: the weapons in the struggle between the two philosophies should be not divisions of soldiers but legions of books; not nuclear bombs but the ability to produce more benefits and distribute them more fairly among the people. In the age of thermo-nuclear weapons, progress and world war are, in the words of the great Russian poet A. S. Pushkin, just as incompatible as genius and villainy.
