More quotes by 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
A political leader who desires to be useful to the revolutionary proletariat must be able to distinguish concrete cases of compromises that are inexcusable and are an expression of opportunism and treachery.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Monopolies, oligarchy, the striving for domination and not for freedom, the exploitation of an increasing number of small or weak nations by a handful of the richest or most powerful nations -- all these have given birth to those distinctive characteristics of imperialism which compel us to define it as parasitic or decaying capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Revolution can never be forecast it cannot be foretold it comes of itself. Revolution is brewing and is bound to flare up.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is at moments of need that one learns who one's friends are. Defeated armies learn their lesson.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
To accept anything on trust, to preclude critical application and development, is a grievous sin.
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
For the complete extinction of the state, complete Communism is necessary.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You must act with all energy. Mass searches. Execution for concealing arms.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You cannot do anything without rousing the masses to action.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
But democracy is by no means a limit one may not overstep it is only one of the stages in the course of development from feudalism to capitalism, and from capitalism to Communism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Democracy is indispensable to socialism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Atheism is the natural and inseparable part of Communism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is not national interests we are upholding - we claim that the interests of socialism, the interests of world socialism, rank higher than national interests, higher than the interests of the state. We are defenders of the socialist fatherland.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is necessary to be able to withstand all this, to agree to any and every sacrifice, and even - if need be - to resort to all sorts of stratagems, manoeuvres and illegal methods, to evasion and subterfuges in order to penetrate the trade unions, to remain in them, and to carry on Communist work in them at all costs.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Of all the arts, for us the cinema is the most important.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Imperialism: The final stage of Capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The progressive historical role of capitalism may be summed up in two brief propositions: increase in the productive forces of social labour, and the socialisation of that labour. But both these facts manifest themselves in extremely diverse processes in different branches of the national economy.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We need the real, nation-wide terror which reinvigorates the country and through which the Great French Revolution achieved glory.
