Vladimir Lenin
Image

Vladimir Lenin

Vladimir Lenin

It is necessary to be able to withstand all this, to agree to any and every sacrifice, and even - if need be - to resort to all sorts of stratagems, manoeuvres and illegal methods, to evasion and subterfuges in order to penetrate the trade unions, to remain in them, and to carry on Communist work in them at all costs.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Whenever the cause of the people is entrusted to professors, it is lost.
Vladimir Lenin
Image

Vladimir Lenin
Image
Peace, Land, and Bread! All power to the Soviet!
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
Image
I must say that the tasks of the youth in general, and of the Young Communist Leagues and all other organisations in particular, might be summed up in a single word: learn.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
A democracy is a state which recognizes the subjection of the minority to the majority, that is, an organization for the systematic use of violence by one class against the other, by one part of the population against another.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The working class must break up, smash the ready-made state machinery, and not confine itself merely to laying hold of it.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Only by abolishing private property in land and building cheap and hygienic dwellings can the housing problem be solved.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You must have your heart on fire and your brain on ice.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.
Vladimir Lenin

Give us the child for eight years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.
