Friday Afternoon Cigar

Rocky Patel Sun Grown.

Everywhere we look we see RED! The cigar wrapper, the cover of our latest book, and of course, the star.

Who said this? Stalin in 1929, or Obama in 2010?

The past year was a year of great change on all the fronts of Socialist construction. The key to this change has been, and continues to be, and unrelenting offensive of Socialism against the capitalist elements in town and country. This offensive has already brought us a number of decisive successes in the Socialist reconstruction of our national economy. We may, therefore, conclude that our Party made good use of our retreat during the first stages of the New Economic Policy and that we are thus able, in the subsequent stages, to organize the change and to launch a successful offensive against the capitalist elements.
