"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation." - Vladimir Lenin

Excellent quote!

Then there is John Maynard Keynes observation in "The Economic Consequences of the Peace - 1920":

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method, they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. . . . Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. . . . (It) does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose. . . ." - John Maynard Keynes, "Economic Consequences of the Peace - 1920"

The attribution to Lenin has been debunked. Fake, but accurate, as CBS would say.
