“It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed hungry person. True freedom can only be where there is no exploitation and oppression of one person by another; where there is not unemployment, and where a person is not living in fear of losing his job, his home and his bread. Only in such a society personal and any other freedom can exist for real and not on paper.” - I.V. Dzugashvili, Soviet Georgian philosopher and political activist.

Wait, I thought that was a Stalin quote??
Stalin is pseudonym. Like Lenin and Trotsky. His legal name is Iosef Dzugashvili.
That I believe is Stalin’s birth surname in russian if I’m correct. It’s a brilliant quote in my opinion.
