Stalin said that.
The quote is sometimes paired with Khrushchev's quote "We will bury you" to explain its meaning.
Sys, you're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts.
http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote/vladimir_lenin_quote_068cFrom Wikipedia, under "misattributions" - remind me never to hire you as a researcher:
We will hang the capitalists with the rope that they sell us.
Often attributed to Stalin and Marx, according to the book, "They Never Said It", p. 64, the phrase derives from a rumour that Lenin said this to one of his close associates, Grigori Zinoviev, not long after a meeting of the Politburo in the early 1920s, but there is no evidence that he ever did. It has also been believed that Lenin may have expressed that the profit motive cannot be undone in that "If we were to hang the last capitalist, another would suddenly appear to sell us the rope". Experts on the Soviet Union reject the rope quote as spurious.
