John Reed:
Zinoviev, you don't think a man can be an individual and be true to the collective, or speak for his own country and speak for the International at the same time, or love his wife and still be faithful to the revolution. You don't have a "self" to give. Grigory Zinoviev:
Would you be willing to give yourself to this revolution? John Reed:
You separate a man from what he loves most, what you do is purge what's unique in him. And when you purge what's unique in him, you purge Dissent. And when you purge Dissent, you kill the revolution! Dissent IS revolution!
