@ER…..”Moreover, I would hate to rely on John Maynard Keynes as a source for this Lenin quote”
You have good reasons to be skeptical of a Lenin quote by John Maynard Keynes….even if you don’t know the reason. Lenin died in 1922. Keynes first went to the USSR in 1925, so they never actually never met. Keynes’ wife was a Soviet ballet dancer, so he was not unfamiliar with the Soviet system and society. I rather doubt Keynes got the quote indirectly from his wife.
