Quote

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.

More quotes by Vladimir Lenin

Image
The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
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.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Communists have become bureaucrats. If anything will destroy us, it is this.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The war is relentless: it puts the alternative in a ruthless relief: either to perish, or to catch up with the advanced countries and outdistance them, too, in economic matters.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One of the chief symptoms of every revolution is the sharp and sudden increase in the number of ordinary people who take an active, independent and forceful interest in politics.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Authority poisons everybody who takes authority on himself.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
No Bolshevik, no Communist, no intelligent socialist has ever entertained the idea of violence against the middle peasants. All socialists have always spoken of agreement with them and of their gradual and voluntary transition to socialism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
But every little difference may become a big one if it is insisted on.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The nearer we come to the full military suppression of the bourgeoisie, the more dangerous becomes to us the high flood of petty-bourgeois Anarchism. And the struggle against these elements cannot be waged with propaganda and agitation alone. ... The struggle must also be waged by applying force and compulsion.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Fascism is capitalism in decay.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The political form of a society wherein the proletariat is victorious in overthrowing the bourgeoisie will be a democratic republic.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Autocracy cannot do without its twin agents: a hangman and a priest, the first to suppress popular resistance by force, the second to sweeten and embellish the lot of the oppressed with empty promises of a heavenly kingdom.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Political institutions are a superstructure resting on an economic foundation.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We are not shooting enough professors.
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

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!
