Every time I see a picture of Stalin I look him square in the eye and I say: You're a meat eater, Joseph.
In Philip K. Dick's "Voices From the Street," the author reflects on the impact of historical figures, particularly Joseph Stalin, on contemporary society. Through the character’s engagement with images of Stalin, it becomes evident that the past continues to resonate in the present, prompting an internal dialogue about morality and power.
The quote, "Every time I see a picture of Stalin I look him square in the eye and I say: You're a meat eater, Joseph," highlights a confrontation with the notion of brutality associated with leadership. It suggests a challenge to the oppressive nature of Stalin's rule, indicating how history should be critically examined rather than romanticized.
