More quotes by Vladimir Lenin
To decide once every few years which members of the ruling class is to repress and crush the people through parliament-this is the real essence of bourgeois parliamentarism, not only in parliamentary- constitutional monarchies, but also in the most democratic republics.
Vladimir Lenin
Our idea is that a state is strong when the people are politically conscious. It is strong when the people know everything, can form an opinion of everything, and do everything consciously.
Vladimir Lenin
Political institutions are a superstructure resting on an economic foundation.
Vladimir Lenin
A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
Whoever wants to reach socialism by any other path than that of political democracy will inevitably arrive at conclusions that are absurd and reactionary both in the economic and the political sense.
Vladimir Lenin
Free speech is a bourgeois prejudice.
Vladimir Lenin
The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.
Vladimir Lenin
The majority of the so-called great powers have long been exploiting and enslaving a whole series of small and weak peoples. And the imperialist war is nothing other than a war for the division and redivision of this kind of booty.
Vladimir Lenin
One cannot live in society and be free from society.
Vladimir Lenin
If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
But suppose, for the sake of argument, free competition, without any sort of monopoly, would develop capitalism trade more rapidly. Is it not a fact that the more rapidly trade and capitalism develop, the greater is the concentration of production and capital which gives rise to monopoly?
Vladimir Lenin
But democracy is by no means a limit one may not overstep it is only one of the stages in the course of development from feudalism to capitalism, and from capitalism to Communism.
Vladimir Lenin
Everyone is free to write and say whatever he likes, without any restrictions.
Vladimir Lenin
Russians are too kind, they lack the ability to apply determined methods of revolutionary terror.
Vladimir Lenin
You must act with all energy. Mass searches. Execution for concealing arms.
Vladimir Lenin
The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into smaller states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them.
Vladimir Lenin
We must pursue the removal of church property by any means necessary in order to secure for ourselves a fund of several hundred million gold rubles.
Vladimir Lenin
I don't care what becomes of Russia. To hell with it. All this is only the road to a World Revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
Capitalists will sell us the rope we will hang them with.
Vladimir Lenin
No Marxist can deny that the interests of socialism are higher than the interests of the right of nations to self-determination.
Vladimir Lenin
