More quotes by Vladimir Lenin

Image
The reflection of nature in man's thought must be understood not lifelessly but in the eternal process of movement, the arising of contradictions and their solution.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
There can be nothing more abominable than religion.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One fool can ask more questions in a minute than 12 wise men can answer in an hour.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The suppression of the bourgeois state by the proletarian state is impossible without violent revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
I don't care what becomes of Russia. To hell with it. All this is only the road to a World Revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Sometimes - history needs a push.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Every cook has to learn how to govern the state.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The government is tottering. We must deal it the death blow an any cost. To delay action is the same as death.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
All countries will inevitably have to do what Russia has done.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
Image
We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
No revolution is worth anything unless it can defend itself.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.
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
Politics is the most concentrated expression of economics.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is not for nothing that Skaldin in one part of his book quotes Adam Smith: we have seen that both his views and the character of his arguments in many respects repeat the theses of that great ideologist of the progressive bourgeoisie.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Those who are really convinced that they have made progress in science would not demand freedom for the new views to continue side by side with the old, but the substitution of the new views for the old.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Sometimes quantity has a quality all its own.
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
