The reflection of nature in man's thought must be understood not lifelessly but in the eternal process of movement, the arising of contradictions and their solution.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The state does not function as we desired. A man is at the wheel and seems to lead it, but the car does not drive in the desired direction. It moves as another force wishes.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
In capitalist society we have a democracy that is curtailed, wretched, false, a democracy only for the rich, for the minority. The dictatorship of the proletariat, the period of transition to communism, will for the first time create democracy for the people, for the majority, along with the necessary suppression of the exploiters, of the minority.
Vladimir Lenin

Where and when have riots and anarchy been provoked by wise measures? If the government had acted wisely, and if their measures had met the needs of the poor peasants, would there have been unrest among the peasant masses?
Vladimir Lenin
Image
An end to wars, peace among the nations, the cessation of pillaging and violence - such is our ideal, but only bourgeois sophists can seduce the masses with this ideal, if the latter is divorced from a direct and immediate call for revolutionary action.

Perfect definition of atheist dogma. Your mind has been subjected to subtle mental conditioning year after year. Now the atheist lie has become the truth to you. A lie that can be blown away with the real truth. It just takes time to unwind the atheist mental conditioning. The truth is out there. Outside of atheist dogma lies the truth!
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When we say the state, the state is We, it is we, it is the proletariat, it is the advanced guard of the working class.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Literature must become party literature. Down with unpartisan litterateurs! Down with the superman of literature! Literature must become a part of the general cause of the proletariat.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
History causes the military problem to become the essence of the political problem.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
There are no morals in politics there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Politics is the most concentrated expression of economics.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The Jewish bourgeoisie are our enemies, not as Jews but as bourgeoisie. The Jewish worker is our brother.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
All our lives we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of the single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The war is relentless: it puts the alternative in a ruthless relief.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You cannot do anything without rousing the masses to action.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The status of women up to now has been compared to that of a slave women have been tied to the home, and only socialism can save them from this. They will only be completely emancipated when we change from small-scale individual farming to collective farming and collective working of the land.
Vladimir Lenin

Where the bourgeois economists saw a relation between things (the exchange of one commodity for another) Marx revealed a relation between people.
