Acceptance Quote by Nikita Khrushchev
“You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until you'll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.”

![“When you look back at the fight against Communism, one thing that is striking is the degree to which we [the United States] were carried on by our own values.
