For all men must think as they are told, speak as they are told, write as they are told, live — and die — as they are told. In those countries the Nation is not above the party, as with us; the party is above the Nation; the party is the Nation. Every common man and woman is forced to walk the straight and narrow path of the party line, not strictly speaking a party line, but rather a line drawn by the dictator himself, who owns the party.</blockquote><p><b>Franklin Delano Roosevelt</b> (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)<br>Speech (1941-03-29), Jackson Day Radio Broadcast, U.S.S. <i>Potomac</i></p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/roosevelt-franklin-delano/76235/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/roosevelt-franklin-d…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=fdr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fdr</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=franklinroosevelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>franklinroosevelt</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=division" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>division</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=dissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dissent</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=totalitarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>totalitarianism</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=autocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autocracy</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=dictatorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dictatorship</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=nation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=obedience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>obedience</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=party" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>party</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=partypolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>partypolitics</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=state" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>state</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=tyranny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tyranny</span></a></p>
