"Statistics is how the capitalist manufacture their lies. We should abolish it and deport all statisticians"

What is this from? Lenin never said this.

He didn't, I am saying it right now. I'm propagandating (propagating? Propaganding?) on behalf of my anti-statistics agenda. Calling it a capitalist tool of misinformation is a statement targeted to this audience. Calling for deportation of statisticians is to add graphicity and strength to my statement. The quotes make it look like someone's quote.

You see, I'm trying to pick up this piece of advice for myself
