Vladimir Lenin Quotes

Quotes about:

• Why should freedom of speech and freedom of press be allowed? Why should a government which is doing what it believes to be right allow itself to be criticized?

Why should any man be allowed to buy a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the government?
