ANDREI VYSHINSKY QUOTES
THE LEGAL PHILOSOPHY OF TERROR
IN STALIN'S RUSSIA
Although Andrei Yanuaryevich Vyshinsky is best known as Joseph Stalin's chief prosecutor during the trials of "state enemies" in the 1930s, Vyshinsky was also something of a theorist of the relationship between law, Marxism-Leninism, and the Socialist state. The quotations below are drawn from three of Vyshinsky's publications. They illustrate the basic direction of Vyshinsky's thought and political philosophy throughout his life as a leading member of the Soviet state apparatus. What is here is a scientific justification for the use of terror by the state.

Vyshinsky is also credited as the author of the quotation: “Give me a man and I will find the crime.”
I have always seen that phrase attributed to Beria.
Maybe Andrei Vischiffsky.
Thanks Belteshazzar.
“domination in society of the will of the majority of the workers and peasants”
What amazes me, is that communist sympathizers have never understood that the power required to create a communist state is also the very same power that the communist leadership won’t let go of, to their own eventual destruction.
Dictators will never decentralize and share power.
Socialists won’t ever say it, but they can never institute their policies with out that kind of power grabbing.
So we have this cutesy, polite, neighborly kind of socialism being trotted out. Americans are largely too wary of socialisms’ failures, keep that thought.....
Yeah, it really triggers them when I tell lefties that the Soviet, Korean, Cuban, or Chinese dictatorships are “true Communism” because dictatorship is the end stage of Communism. It is “working as intended”.
Sure, the Communist Manifesto posits some fairy tale utopia after the dictators step down, but, as you say, dictators never actually step down in real life. So that gives us two options:
A) Karl Marx knew dictatorship was the end stage and that’s what he intended. The rest was just a marketing ploy.
or
B) Karl Marx was a moron and too stupid to realize that dictators would never voluntarily surrender power, because they don’t want to end up in front of the inevitable firing squad.
So there are only 2 choices for the leftie: admit that Communism always ends with a dictatorship, or admit that Karl Marx was a moron. There’s no third option.
Option 3 is to scream Nazi and hit you with a bike lock. That’s where we are now though.
Judge Roland Freisler used Vyshinsky’s Model for his Show Trials.
Freisler actually was a Bolshevik before turning into a fanatical Nazi, even Hitler referred to him as “The Old Bolshevik”
This guy and Freisler were kindred souls.
According to Marx, feudalism pitted the nobility against the peasants, leading to capitalism, which led to the bourgeoisie against the proletariat, leading to socialism, in which the state miraculously supports the people, rather than causing what happened in the earlier systems, pitting the state against the people.
Marx was a unicornist, or a pseudo-Christian heretic, thinking that the millennium could occur without a Second Coming, and that the state could be Christ.
These socialists/communists are drenched in their BS. It’s easy to spew this crap when you have managed to gain a position of control over people.

Well, technically, there’s three choices, and that’s making it an anarchistic hellhole a’la the French Revolution and either the Reign of Terror or the September Massacres (and the latter was actually something Michel Foucault cooked up due to being so anarchistic and anti-government he wouldn’t even tolerate Socialist People’s Courts to make rulings, preferring “popular justice”, ie mob rule and outright lynchings). Let’s not forget, the French Revolution and ESPECIALLY the Reign of Terror played a very key role in Karl Marx’s creation of Communism, to the extent that Marx in at least two of his writings outside the Manifesto explicitly stated that when they’re in power, not only are they obliged to repeat 1793, referring to Robespierre’s Reign of Terror, but also make it even more of a bloodbath (and let’s not forget, that period was particularly infamous for the Jacobins just slaughtering the heck out of each other for kicks, or as General Grignon put it, “Anyone they find in Vendee is to be killed, even if they are Republicans [Jacobins]”, meaning if they found fellow soldiers there, they kill them without batting an eye and maybe a couple of chuckles). Something that’s arguably even WORSE than a dictatorship and if anything is more like how Joker views the world in many Batman stuff (case in point, Gotham: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHFwBhZniiQ ; Joker ending in Injustice 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWcUKpePyf0 midpoint more specifically). He may have envisioned dictators “stepping down” in the same manner of how the Jacobins basically behaved before Robespierre got the axe. In fact, this method was shown point blank in Operation Parricide from Culture Wars: https://web.archive.org/web/20050309031846/https://culturewars.com/CultureWars/Archives/Fidelity_archives/parricide.html And heck, was even made blatant in I think New American magazine.
But I agree, Soviet, Korean, Cuban, Chinese, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Laosian, and Venezuelan dictatorships are true communism, and it works as intended. And even if it weren’t true communism, it’s certainly close enough that it really doesn’t even matter.
Vyshinsky’s words are the precise antithesis of the Declaration of Independence’s, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
I fear this simple observation is something far too many of our elected representatives in the U. S. Congress would, if asked, either not be able to see or, if they were able, would not agree.
We are in great danger as a nation.
