There was a joke in Czechoslovakia: The Communist Party dance, it's one step forward, two steps backward, and everyone is still clapping.

I don't want to take one step forward and two steps backward.

If the communist party is controlling China, they represent China.

The greater the step forward in knowledge, the greater is the one taken backward in search of wisdom.

Кубло бандитів, кагебістів,
