The alleged Lenin quote about capitalists selling the rope is a hoax.

^^^^ CB:

I asked one of the keepers of the Lenin internet archive, who had read many volumes of Lenin's collected works for setting up the archives ( might have been _all_ the collected works)whether he had run across this. He said "no".

It's a good idea though, that quote, anyway. Are the Chinese Communists buying up "rope" from the capitalists today ?
