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.

More quotes by Vladimir Lenin
Face the truth squarely. In politics that is always the best and the only correct attitude.
Vladimir Lenin
The Bolsheviks could not have retained power for two and a half months, let alone two and a half years, without the most rigorous and truly iron discipline in our Party.
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!
Vladimir Lenin
Revolution can never be forecast it cannot be foretold it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.
Vladimir Lenin
The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart.
Vladimir Lenin
The suppression of the bourgeois state by the proletarian state is impossible without violent revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
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
Freedom of speech and the press must be complete. But then freedom of association must be complete too.
Vladimir Lenin
We are not shooting enough professors.
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
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
It is in prison ... that one becomes a real revolutionary.
Vladimir Lenin
But I can't listen to music too often. It affects your nerves, makes you want to say stupid, nice things, and stroke the heads of people who could create such beauty while living in this vile hell.
Vladimir Lenin
To accept anything on trust, to preclude critical application and development, is a grievous sin.
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
Give me a child for the first 5 years of his life and he will be mine forever.
Vladimir Lenin
The political form of a society wherein the proletariat is victorious in overthrowing the bourgeoisie will be a democratic republic.
Vladimir Lenin
This fear of criticism displayed by the advocates of freedom of criticism cannot be attributed solely to craftiness. No, the majority of the Economists look with sincere resentment upon all theoretical controversies, factional disagreements, broad political questions, plans for organising revolutionaries, etc.
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
Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.
