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
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
Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism. Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
Vladimir Lenin
We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us.
Vladimir Lenin
Democracy is a form of the state, it represents, on the one hand, the organized, systematic use of force against persons but, on the other hand, it signifies the formal recognition of equality of citizens, the equal right of all to determine the structure of, and to administer, the state.
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
Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
Vladimir Lenin
Give me a child for the first 5 years of his life and he will be mine forever.
Vladimir Lenin
Without a revolutionary theory there cannot be a revolutionary movement.
Vladimir Lenin
Comrade Stalin, having become Secretary-General, has unlimited authority concentrated in his hands, and I am not sure whether he will always be capable of using that authority with sufficient caution.
Vladimir Lenin
We must follow the rule: Better fewer, but better. We must follow the rule: Better get good human material in two or even three years than work in haste without hope of getting any at all.
Vladimir Lenin
Every cook must learn to rule the State.
Vladimir Lenin
The progressive historical role of capitalism may be summed up in two brief propositions: increase in the productive forces of social labour, and the socialisation of that labour. But both these facts manifest themselves in extremely diverse processes in different branches of the national economy.
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
Bah, tombstones are only good for pigeons to sit on
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
Hang (hang without fail, so the people see) no fewer than one hundred known kulaks, rich men, bloodsuckers.
Vladimir Lenin
Authority poisons everybody who takes authority on himself.
Vladimir Lenin
If Socialism can only be realized when the intellectual development of all the people permits it, then we shall not see Socialism for at least five hundred years.
Vladimir Lenin
The working class must break up, smash the ready-made state machinery, and not confine itself merely to laying hold of it.
Vladimir Lenin
How can you make a revolution without executions?
Vladimir Lenin
