More quotes by Vladimir Lenin

Image
Pacifism, the preaching of peace in the abstract, is one of the means of duping the working class.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
No Marxist can deny that the interests of socialism are higher than the interests of the right of nations to self-determination.
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
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
Monopolies, oligarchy, the striving for domination and not for freedom, the exploitation of an increasing number of small or weak nations by a handful of the richest or most powerful nations -- all these have given birth to those distinctive characteristics of imperialism which compel us to define it as parasitic or decaying capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
There can be nothing more abominable than religion.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Socialists cannot achieve their great aim without fighting against all oppression of nations.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Democracy is indispensable to socialism.
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
War cannot be abolished unless classes are abolished.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One would like to stroke and caress human beings, but one dares not do so, because they bite.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
To accept anything on trust, to preclude critical application and development, is a grievous sin.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
A country of inveterate, backwoods, thick-headed, egotistic philistines
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
Image
All official and liberal science defends wage-slavery, whereas Marxism has declared relentless war on that slavery.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Our aim is to achieve a socialist system of society, which, by eliminating the division of mankind into classes, by eliminating all exploitation of man by man and nation by nation, will inevitably eliminate the very possibility of war.
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
For any truth, if “overdone” (as Dietzgen Senior put it), if exaggerated, or if carried beyond the limits of its actual applicability, can be reduced to an absurdity, and is even bound to become an absurdity under these conditions.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Without a revolutionary theory there cannot be a revolutionary movement.
