Don’t Freeze before You Negotiate

There is a term in Party jargon coined by Lenin himself: “a useful idiot.” . . . The Soviet rulers have scored a spectacular victory: they have recruited millions of useful idiots to implement their bankrupt foreign policy. . . . We are into only the second year of a planned ten-year “struggle for peace.” Within a few years, the whole earth will be trembling under the marching feet of the useful idiots, for their resources are inexhaustible.

— Vladimir Bukovsky, Commentary, May 1982
