Quote

The status of women up to now has been compared to that of a slave women have been tied to the home, and only socialism can save them from this. They will only be completely emancipated when we change from small-scale individual farming to collective farming and collective working of the land.

More quotes by 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
The entire trend of development is towards abolition of coercive domination of one part of society over another.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Unity must be won, and only the workers, the class-conscious workers themselves can win it - by stubborn and persistent effort.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The war is relentless: it puts the alternative in a ruthless relief.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Our idea is that a state is strong when the people are politically conscious. It is strong when the people know everything, can form an opinion of everything, and do everything consciously.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
No Bolshevik, no Communist, no intelligent socialist has ever entertained the idea of violence against the middle peasants. All socialists have always spoken of agreement with them and of their gradual and voluntary transition to socialism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The establishment of a central bank is 90% of communizing a nation.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is more pleasant and useful to go through the 'experience of the revolution' than to write about it.
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
Be as radical as Reality.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
To accept anything on trust, to preclude critical application and development, is a grievous sin.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You cannot make a revolution in white gloves.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One must not count in thousands, like the propagandist belonging to a small group that has not yet given leadership to the masses in these circumstances one must count in millions and tens of millions.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Victory will belong only to those who have faith in the people, those who are immersed in the life-giving spring of popular creativity.
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
The working class must break up, smash the ready-made state machinery, and not confine itself merely to laying hold of it.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Give us the child for eight years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.
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

Sometimes quantity has a quality all its own.
