Image
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
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
A country of inveterate, backwoods, thick-headed, egotistic philistines
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is at moments of need that one learns who one's friends are. Defeated armies learn their lesson.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Dictatorship is rule based directly upon force and unrestricted by any laws. The revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat is rule won and maintained by the use of violence by the proletariat against the bourgeoisie, rule that is unrestricted by any laws.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Victory will belong only to those who have faith in the people, those who are immersed in the life-giving spring of popular creativity.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Any cook should be able to run the country.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Human reason has discovered many amazing things in nature and will discover still more, and will thereby increase its power over nature.
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
There are no morals in politics there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.
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
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
Image
The natural scientist must be a modern materialist, a conscious adherent of the materialism represented by Marx, i.e., he must be a dialectical materialist.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The suppression of the bourgeois state by the proletarian state is impossible without violent revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Germany will militarize herself out of existence, England will expand herself out of existence, and America will spend herself out of existence.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Unity must be won, and only the workers, the class-conscious workers themselves can win it - by stubborn and persistent effort.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
To picture world history as advancing smoothly and steadily without sometimes taking gigantic strides backward is undialectical, unscientific and theoretically wrong.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Atheism is a natural and inseparable part of Marxism, of the theory and practice of scientific socialism. Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The state does not function as we desired. A man is at the wheel and seems to lead it, but the car does not drive in the desired direction. It moves as another force wishes.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
People always have been and they always will be stupid victims of deceit and self-deception in politics.
Vladimir Lenin
