Lenin once said that capitalists were so cynical that they would sell the Soviets the rope with which they would hang them. Lenin and communism have passed away, but that cynical indifference to suffering when profits are involved remains.
列宁曾经说过，资本主义甚至会卖给苏联用来扼杀她的绳索，这样来形容资本主义的玩世不恭似乎再恰当不过。如今，列宁和共产主义已经成为了历史，但资本主义在涉及利益问题时对苦难的冷漠却并未改变。
