Vladimir Lenin
Image
One man with a gun can control 100 without one.
Vladimir Lenin

We set ourselves the ultimate aim of abolishing the state, i.e., all organized and systematic violence, all use of violence against people in general.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is necessary to be able to withstand all this, to agree to any and every sacrifice, and even - if need be - to resort to all sorts of stratagems, manoeuvres and illegal methods, to evasion and subterfuges in order to penetrate the trade unions, to remain in them, and to carry on Communist work in them at all costs.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When it comes to hang the capitalists they will compete with each other to sell us the rope at a lower price.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Materialism is the recognition of objects in themselves, or outside the mind ideas and sensations are copies of images of those objects.
Vladimir Lenin

Vladimir Lenin
Image
Without a revolutionary theory there cannot be a revolutionary movement.
Vladimir Lenin

The establishment of a central bank is 90% of communizing a nation.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Politics is the most concentrated expression of economics.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Literature must become party literature. Down with unpartisan litterateurs! Down with the superman of literature! Literature must become a part of the general cause of the proletariat.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
All contemporary religions and churches, all and every kind of religious organization, Marxism has always viewed as organs of bourgeois reaction, serving as a defense of exploitation and the doping of the working-classes.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Free speech is a bourgeois prejudice.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The goal of socialism is communism.
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.
