I. Quote
a. “We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good distance in ten years. Either we do it, or they crush us.”
b. This quote from the excerpt of Joseph Stalin, “On Soviet Industrialization Speech to Industrial Managers,” February 1931 is significant because Stalin talks about how they will not have the chance of rising to the top and keeping their independence if they lower their tempo at all. He states that they are extremely behind other countries that are advanced. They can only catch up by increasing their tempo and that they must make good distance in the next ten years or they will get “crushed.”
II. Summary
a. Mein Kampf, 1925; Adolf Hitler
