The Communist Party is at war. It is at war with the rest of society, it is at war with non-communist socialism, it is at war with religion. It is at war with tolerance and compromise.

Marxism teaches that man is a product of his environment but that man is capable of changing his environment and thus changing himself.

Anything that hastens that change is justifiable.

Anything.

And if the communist wants the change badly enough he will do anything.

—Bob Darke, The Communist Technique in Britain (1952)

Communism seems to be the great bogey in the Western hemisphere. I cannot help feeling that a somewhat exaggerated view is taken of the whole thing.

—Guy Liddell, diary entry, 19 March 1945
