Be as radical as Reality.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Honesty in politics is the result of strength hypocrisy is the result of weakness.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is not for nothing that Skaldin in one part of his book quotes Adam Smith: we have seen that both his views and the character of his arguments in many respects repeat the theses of that great ideologist of the progressive bourgeoisie.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Those who are opposed to armed uprising ... must be ruthlessly kicked out as enemies, traitors and cowards.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Human thought by its nature is capable of giving, and does give, absolute truth, which is compounded of a sum-total of relative truths.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.
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
No revolution is worth anything unless it can defend itself.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time one must always go forward - or go back. He who now talks about the 'freedom of the press' goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is essential to grasp the incontestable truth that a Marxist must take cognisance of real life, of the true facts of reality, and not cling to a theory of yesterday, which, like all theories, at best only outlines the main and the general, only comes near to embracing life in all its complexity.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
A party is the vanguard of a class, and its duty is to lead the masses and not merely to reflect the average political level of the masses.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The true leader must submerge himself in the fountain of the people.
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
Everyone is free to write and say whatever he likes, without any restrictions.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Our aim is to achieve a socialist system of society, which, by eliminating the division of mankind into classes, by eliminating all exploitation of man by man and nation by nation, will inevitably eliminate the very possibility of war.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
In capitalist society we have a democracy that is curtailed, wretched, false, a democracy only for the rich, for the minority. The dictatorship of the proletariat, the period of transition to communism, will for the first time create democracy for the people, for the majority, along with the necessary suppression of the exploiters, of the minority.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
If Socialism can only be realized when the intellectual development of all the people permits it, then we shall not see Socialism for at least five hundred years.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Does not the whole history of socialism, particularly of French socialism, which is so rich in revolutionary striving, show us that when the working people themselves take power in their hands the ruling classes resort to unheard-of crimes and shootings if it is a matter of protecting their money-bags.
