Russia claimed to be the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and so Russia really was a socialist republic. That is, communism is socialism. There is no real difference. One avowedly takes the way of terrorism and murder and anarchy, while the other seeks the same end by infiltration, propaganda, creeping socialism. So communism and Karl Marx’s socialism are really out-and-out enemies of the Bible.
–Dr. John R. Rice, False Doctrines Answered, p. 379–

We stand for organized terror–
this should be frankly admitted.
Terror is an absolute necessity
during times of revolution.
