Polonyali Marksist yazar, gazeteci ve siyasi aktivist Isaac Deutscher'in dogum yildonumu (3 Nisan 1907)
“— Utopyaya olum! Inanca olum! Sevgiye olum! Umuda olum! Iste Yirminci Yuzyilin yaylim atesi, top salvolari bunlar.
— Teslim ol, romantik hayalci. Ben geldim. Uzun zamandir bekledigin Yirminci Yuzyil, bekledigin 'gelecek.' ”
“— Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope? thunders the twentieth century in salvos of fire and in the rumbling of guns.
— Surrender, you pathetic dreamer. Here I am, your long awaited twentieth century, your 'future.' ”
"Sosyalist devrimi yurekten, destekleyenler, kentli isciler oldu. Ama bu, ulusun kucuk bir azinligiydi. Kentlerde yasayan yirmi kusur milyon insan, toplam nufusun ancak altida birini olusturuyordu ve bunlarin da ancak yarisina proleter denilebilirdi. Isci sinifinin asil cekirdegini meydana getirenler, modern sanayide calisan uc milyon kadar erkek ve kadindi. Marksistler, sanayi iscilerinin kapitalist toplumun en dinamik gucu, sosyalist devrimin baslica etmenleri olacagini ummuslardi. Rus iscileri ise, bu bekleyisin de otesine gectiler. Rus toplumundaki baska hic bir sinif, ve dunyada baska hic bir isci sinifi, Rus iscilerinin 1917’de (ve daha sonra da ,ic savasta) gosterdigi enerjiyi, politik basireti, orgutlenme yetenegini ve kahramanligi gosterememistir." Bitmemis Devrim
"The socialist revolution was supported wholeheartedly by the urban working class. But this was a small minority of the nation. Altogether one sixth of the population, twenty-odd million people, lived in the towns: and of these only half or so could be described as proletarian. The hard core of the working class consisted at the most of about three million men and women employed in modern industry. Marxists had expected the industrial workers to be the most dynamic force in capitalist society, the main agents of socialist revolution. The Russian workers more than justified this expectation. No class in Russian society, and no working class anywhere in the world, has ever acted with the energy, the political intelligence, the ability for organization, and the heroism with which the Russian workers acted in 1917 (and thereafter in the civil war)."
