There are no morals in politics there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.

More quotes by Vladimir Lenin
Any army which does not train to use all the weapons, all the means and methods of warfare that the enemy possesses, or may possess, is behaving in an unwise or even criminal manner. This applies to politics even more than it does to the art of war.
Vladimir Lenin
This fear of criticism displayed by the advocates of freedom of criticism cannot be attributed solely to craftiness. No, the majority of the Economists look with sincere resentment upon all theoretical controversies, factional disagreements, broad political questions, plans for organising revolutionaries, etc.
Vladimir Lenin
The most important thing is to know how to awaken in the still undeveloped masses an intelligent attitude towards religious questions and an intelligent criticism of religions.
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
I don't care what becomes of Russia. To hell with it. All this is only the road to a World Revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
We need the real, nation-wide terror which reinvigorates the country and through which the Great French Revolution achieved glory.
Vladimir Lenin
All extremes are bad. All that is good and useful, if carried to extremes, may become-and beyond a certain limit is bound to become-bad and injurious.
Vladimir Lenin
To picture world history as advancing smoothly and steadily without sometimes taking gigantic strides backward is undialectical, unscientific and theoretically wrong.
Vladimir Lenin
The whole struggle of our Party (and of the working class movement in Europe generally) must be directed against opportunism. The latter is not a current of opinion, not a tendency it (opportunism) has now become the organised tool of the bourgeoisie within the working class movement.
Vladimir Lenin
You cannot do anything without rousing the masses to action.
Vladimir Lenin
Bourgeois democracy is democracy of pompous phrases, solemn words, exuberant promises and the high-sounding slogans of freedom and equality. But, in fact, it screens the non-freedom and inferiority of women, the non-freedom and inferiority of the toilers and exploited.
Vladimir Lenin
Attention, must be devoted principally to raising the workers to the level of revolutionaries it is not our task to descend to the level of the 'working masses'.
Vladimir Lenin
If democracy, in essence, means the abolition of class domination, then why should not a socialist minister charm the whole bourgeois world by orations on class collaboration?
Vladimir Lenin
Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
Vladimir Lenin
International unity of the workers is more important than the national.
Vladimir Lenin
It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.
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
Bah, tombstones are only good for pigeons to sit on
Vladimir Lenin
Soviet power is a new type of state in which there is no bureacracy, no police, no standing army.
Vladimir Lenin
All countries will inevitably have to do what Russia has done.
Vladimir Lenin
