Be as radical as Reality.
Vladimir Lenin

For the first time the peasant has seen real freedom - freedom to eat his bread, freedom from starvation.
Vladimir Lenin
Image

Vladimir Lenin
Image
Crime is a product of social excess.
Vladimir Lenin

Vladimir Lenin
Image
Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It would be the greatest mistake, certainly, to think that concessions mean peace. Nothing of the kind. Concessions are nothing but a new form of war.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We must not depict socialism as if socialists will bring it to us on a plate all nicely dressed. That will never happen. Not a single problem of the class struggle has ever been solved in history except by violence. When violence is exercised by the working people, by the mass of exploited against the exploiters -- then we are for it!
Vladimir Lenin
Image
International unity of the workers is more important than the national.
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
Everyone is free to write and say whatever he likes, without any restrictions.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
War cannot be abolished unless classes are abolished.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is true that liberty is precious so precious that it must be carefully rationed.
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
Where and when have riots and anarchy been provoked by wise measures? If the government had acted wisely, and if their measures had met the needs of the poor peasants, would there have been unrest among the peasant masses?
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Capitalism has triumphed all over the world, but this triumph is only the prelude to the triumph of labour over capital.
Vladimir Lenin
