План Даллеса или «У дураков мысли сходятся»

Цитата из книги «They never said it» (сборник фальшивых, искажённых и ошибочно приписываемых цитат) про одну высказывание, якобы В.И. Ленина:

CORRUPT-YOUNG-PEOPLE QUOTE “Corrupt the young people of a nation, and the battle is won.” This statement turned up in the Dallas Morning News for May 3, 1965, in a discussion of pornography. Lenin was supposed to have made the observation in 1922, but there is no evidence that he ever said anything as silly as that. The Dallas News quote was probably an adaptation of a phony

Lenin quote appearing in Kenneth Goff’s ultra-rightest magazine, Pilgrim Torch, for February-March 1965: “Demoralize the youth of the land, and the revolution is already won.” Apparently the phony-quote users don’t even bother to quote each other accurately.
