More quotes by Vladimir Lenin
The Jewish bourgeoisie are our enemies, not as Jews but as bourgeoisie. The Jewish worker is our brother.
Vladimir Lenin
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
All countries will inevitably have to do what Russia has done.
Vladimir Lenin
Hundreds of thousands and millions of wage slaves of capital and peasants downtrodden by the serf-owners are going to the slaughter for the dynastic interests of a handful of crowned brigands, for the profits of the bourgeoisie in its drive to plunder foreign lands.
Vladimir Lenin
There can be nothing more abominable than religion.
Vladimir Lenin
Does not the whole history of socialism, particularly of French socialism, which is so rich in revolutionary striving, show us that when the working people themselves take power in their hands the ruling classes resort to unheard-of crimes and shootings if it is a matter of protecting their money-bags.
Vladimir Lenin
You must act with all energy. Mass searches. Execution for concealing arms.
Vladimir Lenin
A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
It is essential to grasp the incontestable truth that a Marxist must take cognisance of real life, of the true facts of reality, and not cling to a theory of yesterday, which, like all theories, at best only outlines the main and the general, only comes near to embracing life in all its complexity.
Vladimir Lenin
It is not national interests we are upholding - we claim that the interests of socialism, the interests of world socialism, rank higher than national interests, higher than the interests of the state. We are defenders of the socialist fatherland.
Vladimir Lenin
Unity must be won, and only the workers, the class-conscious workers themselves can win it - by stubborn and persistent effort.
Vladimir Lenin
Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
Vladimir Lenin
Russians are too kind, they lack the ability to apply determined methods of revolutionary terror.
Vladimir Lenin
It is at moments of need that one learns who one's friends are. Defeated armies learn their lesson.
Vladimir Lenin
America has become one of the foremost countries in regard to the depth of the abyss which lies between the handful of arrogant multimillionaires who wallow in filth and luxury, and the millions of working people who constantly live on the verge of pauperism.
Vladimir Lenin
To accept anything on trust, to preclude critical application and development, is a grievous sin.
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
We would be deceiving both ourselves and the people if we concealed from the masses the necessity of a desperate, bloody war of extermination, as the immediate task of the coming revolutionary action.
Vladimir Lenin
Trust is good, but control is better.
Vladimir Lenin
Freedom of speech and the press must be complete. But then freedom of association must be complete too.
Vladimir Lenin
