Quote

When a liberal is abused, he says, ‘Thank God they didn’t beat me.’ When he is beaten, he thanks God they didn’t kill him. When he is killed, he will thank God that his immortal soul has been delivered from its mortal clay.

No mercy for these enemies of the people, the enemies of socialism, the enemies of the working people! War to the death against the rich and their hangers-on, the bourgeois intellectuals war on the rogues, the idlers and the rowdies!
Vladimir Lenin

Vladimir Lenin

I must say that the tasks of the youth in general, and of the Young Communist Leagues and all other organisations in particular, might be summed up in a single word: learn.
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
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, of course, much easier to shout, abuse, and howl than to attempt to relate, to explain.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We need the real, nation-wide terror which reinvigorates the country and through which the Great French Revolution achieved glory.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The war is relentless: it puts the alternative in a ruthless relief.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Free speech is a bourgeois prejudice.
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
There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen.
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.
