Danger Quote by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

“Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it's coming from as it moves swiftly towards you.” quote by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
