We shall not achieve socialism without a struggle.
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
Pacifism, the preaching of peace in the abstract, is one of the means of duping the working class.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
An end to wars, peace among the nations, the cessation of pillaging and violence - such is our ideal, but only bourgeois sophists can seduce the masses with this ideal, if the latter is divorced from a direct and immediate call for revolutionary action.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Man’s consciousness not only reflects the objective world, but creates it.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Let the socialist snivellers croak, let the bourgeoisie rage and fume, but only people who shut their eyes so as not to see, and stuff their ears so as not to hear, can fail to notice that all over the world the birth pangs of the old, capitalist society, which is pregnant with socialism, have begun.
Vladimir Lenin

International unity of the workers is more important than the national.

Vladimir Lenin

All our lives we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of the single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The soundest strategy in war is to postpone operations until the moral disintegration of the enemy renders the delivery of the mortal blow both possible and easy.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Capitalists will sell us the rope we will hang them with.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Atheism is the natural and inseparable part of Communism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Learning is never done without errors and defeat.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The nearer we come to the full military suppression of the bourgeoisie, the more dangerous becomes to us the high flood of petty-bourgeois Anarchism. And the struggle against these elements cannot be waged with propaganda and agitation alone. ... The struggle must also be waged by applying force and compulsion.
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
Chess is only a recreation and not an occupation.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
I am a bad, wicked man, but I am practicing moral self-purification I don't eat meat any more, I now eat rice cutlets.
