Image
The true leader must submerge himself in the fountain of the people.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time one must always go forward--or go back
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We must not depict socialism as if socialists will bring it to us on a plate all nicely dressed. That will never happen. Not a single problem of the class struggle has ever been solved in history except by violence. When violence is exercised by the working people, by the mass of exploited against the exploiters -- then we are for it!
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The functionaries of our political organizations and trade unions are corrupted - or rather tend to be corrupted - by the conditions of capitalism and betray a tendency to become bureaucrats, i.e., privileged persons divorced from the people and standing above the people.
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
Materialism is the recognition of objects in themselves, or outside the mind ideas and sensations are copies of images of those objects.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Give us the child for eight years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Human thought by its nature is capable of giving, and does give, absolute truth, which is compounded of a sum-total of relative truths.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
Image
Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is necessary - secretly and urgently to prepare the terror.
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
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
No revolution is worth anything unless it can defend itself.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One fool can ask more questions in a minute than 12 wise men can answer in an hour.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Sometimes - history needs a push.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
Image
A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It would be the greatest mistake, certainly, to think that concessions mean peace. Nothing of the kind. Concessions are nothing but a new form of war.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We shall not bind ourselves by treaties. We shall not allow ourselves to be entangled by treaties. We reject all clauses on plunder and violence, but we shall welcome all clauses containing provisions for good-neighbourly relations and all economic agreements we cannot reject these.
Vladimir Lenin
