More quotes by Vladimir Lenin
Soviet power is a new type of state in which there is no bureacracy, no police, no standing army.
Vladimir Lenin
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
We Social-Democrats always stand for democracy, not in the name of capitalism, but in the name of clearing the path for our movement, which clearing is impossible without the development of capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
It is, of course, much easier to shout, abuse, and howl than to attempt to relate, to explain.
Vladimir Lenin
Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.
Vladimir Lenin
It is in prison ... that one becomes a real revolutionary.
Vladimir Lenin
We do not have time to play at oppositions at conferences. We will keep our political opponents... whether open or disguised as nonparty, in prison.
Vladimir Lenin
When we are victorious on a world scale I think we shall use gold for the purpose of building public lavatories in the streets of some of the largest cities of the world.
Vladimir Lenin
For the first time the peasant has seen real freedom - freedom to eat his bread, freedom from starvation.
Vladimir Lenin
Of all the arts, for us the cinema is the most important.
Vladimir Lenin
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
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
The government is tottering. We must deal it the death blow an any cost. To delay action is the same as death.
Vladimir Lenin
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
One must always try to be as radical as reality itself.
Vladimir Lenin
It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.
Vladimir Lenin
Bah, tombstones are only good for pigeons to sit on
Vladimir Lenin
Can a nation be free if it oppresses other nations? It cannot.
Vladimir Lenin
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
Give me a child for the first 5 years of his life and he will be mine forever.
Vladimir Lenin
