About this Quote

This quote by Ronald Reagan is a humorous way of pointing out the distinction between a Communist and an Anti-Communist. Reagan suggests that a Communist is somebody who reads the works of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin, but does not always comprehend them. On the other hand, an Anti-Communist is someone who not only reads Marx and Lenin, but also comprehends their concepts and theories. Reagan's quote is a smart method of highlighting the importance of comprehending the works of Marx and Lenin, rather than merely reading them. It likewise indicates that an Anti-Communist is more well-informed than a Communist, as they have a deeper understanding of the works of Marx and Lenin. Reagan's quote is a funny way of making a point about the importance of comprehending the works of Marx and Lenin, instead of simply reading them.
