It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.
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
Bourgeois democracy is democracy of pompous phrases, solemn words, exuberant promises and the high-sounding slogans of freedom and equality. But, in fact, it screens the non-freedom and inferiority of women, the non-freedom and inferiority of the toilers and exploited.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Three keys to success: read, read, read.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The progressive historical role of capitalism may be summed up in two brief propositions: increase in the productive forces of social labour, and the socialisation of that labour. But both these facts manifest themselves in extremely diverse processes in different branches of the national economy.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The bourgeoisie incites the workers of one nation against those of another in the endeavour to keep them disunited.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Crime is a product of social excess.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The war is relentless: it puts the alternative in a ruthless relief.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
All official and liberal science defends wage-slavery, whereas Marxism has declared relentless war on that slavery.
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
The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
No Bolshevik, no Communist, no intelligent socialist has ever entertained the idea of violence against the middle peasants. All socialists have always spoken of agreement with them and of their gradual and voluntary transition to socialism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
As an ultimate objective, peace simply means communist world control.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Only by abolishing private property in land and building cheap and hygienic dwellings can the housing problem be solved.
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
History causes the military problem to become the essence of the political problem.
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
We Social-Democrats always stand for democracy, not in the name of capitalism, but in the name of clearing the path for our movement, which clearing is impossible without the development of capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
