Image
Every cook must learn to rule the State.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Dictatorship is rule based directly upon force and unrestricted by any laws. The revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat is rule won and maintained by the use of violence by the proletariat against the bourgeoisie, rule that is unrestricted by any laws.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Pacifism, the preaching of peace in the abstract, is one of the means of duping the working class.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
If democracy, in essence, means the abolition of class domination, then why should not a socialist minister charm the whole bourgeois world by orations on class collaboration?
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
Capitalists are no more capable of self-sacrifice than a man is capable of lifting himself up by his own bootstraps.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The Jewish bourgeoisie are our enemies, not as Jews but as bourgeoisie. The Jewish worker is our brother.

Vladimir Lenin
Image
A country of inveterate, backwoods, thick-headed, egotistic philistines
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Give me your four year olds, and in a generation I will build a socialist state.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The majority of the so-called great powers have long been exploiting and enslaving a whole series of small and weak peoples. And the imperialist war is nothing other than a war for the division and redivision of this kind of booty.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Hang (hang without fail, so the people see) no fewer than one hundred known kulaks, rich men, bloodsuckers.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When it comes to hang the capitalists they will compete with each other to sell us the rope at a lower price.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
People always have been the foolish victims of deception and self-deception in politics, and they always will be, until they have learned to seek out the interests of some class or other behind all moral, religious, political and social phrases, declarations and promises.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When a war is waged by two opposing groups of robbers for the sake of deciding who shall have a freer hand to oppress more people, then the question of the origin of the war is of no real economic or political significance.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Sometimes quantity has a quality all its own.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Those who are really convinced that they have made progress in science would not demand freedom for the new views to continue side by side with the old, but the substitution of the new views for the old.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
Political institutions are a superstructure resting on an economic foundation.
Vladimir Lenin
