More quotes by Vladimir Lenin

Image
Soviet power is a new type of state in which there is no bureacracy, no police, no standing army.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One cannot live in society and be free from society.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The bourgeoisie is many times stronger than we. To give it the weapon of freedom of the press is to ease the enemy's cause, to help the class enemy. We do not desire to end in suicide, so we will not do this.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The sole property of matter with whose recognition philosophical materialism is bound up is the property of being an objective reality, of existing outside the mind.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The goal of socialism is communism.
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

Every cook has to learn how to govern the state.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Hang (hang without fail, so the people see) no fewer than one hundred known kulaks, rich men, bloodsuckers.
Vladimir Lenin
Image

Vladimir Lenin
Image
We are not shooting enough professors.
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
False rhetoric and false boastfulness spell moral ruin and lead unfailingly to political extinction.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Peace, Land, and Bread! All power to the Soviet!
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is necessary - secretly and urgently to prepare the terror.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Revolution can never be forecast it cannot be foretold it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Every cook must learn to rule the State.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You cannot make a revolution in white gloves.
Vladimir Lenin
