You communists are all the same, you say you want to overthrow capitalism but without capitalism who would make your masks to overthrow capitalism?
The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.

I think the earliest documented version of this quote (1955 October 31, The Commonwealth: Official Journal of the Commonwealth Club of California) is more intriguing:
—Major George Racey Jordan
Sell the people torches and pitchforks, which they promptly use to stab and char you. As they say, sell them shovels in a gold rush.
Except today, it would be a shovel that is designed to break at around 100 uses so that you have to come back to buy a new shovel every few days or so.
You rent the shovel and it's geotagged to your region.
Nah see, the trick is to first convince the buyers other average people are the enemy. Double the sales, none of the consequences.
Great quote, gotta keep that one in pocket for when this “hypocrisy” is pointed out every few days
