Image
The reflection of nature in man's thought must be understood not lifelessly but in the eternal process of movement, the arising of contradictions and their solution.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Imperialism: The final stage of Capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is, of course, much easier to shout, abuse, and howl than to attempt to relate, to explain.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Unity is a great thing and a great slogan. But what the workers’ cause needs is the unity of Marxists, not unity between Marxists, and opponents and distorters of Marxism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Under socialism all will govern in turn and will soon become accustomed to no one governing.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Does not the whole history of socialism, particularly of French socialism, which is so rich in revolutionary striving, show us that when the working people themselves take power in their hands the ruling classes resort to unheard-of crimes and shootings if it is a matter of protecting their money-bags.
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
War cannot be abolished unless classes are abolished.
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
Capital, created by the labour of the worker, crushes the worker, ruining small proprietors and creating an army of unemployed.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time one must always go forward--or go back
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
Whoever wants to reach socialism by any other path than that of political democracy will inevitably arrive at conclusions that are absurd and reactionary both in the economic and the political sense.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Give us the child for eight years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The war is relentless: it puts the alternative in a ruthless relief.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Hang (hang without fail, so the people see) no fewer than one hundred known kulaks, rich men, bloodsuckers.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
How can you make a revolution without executions?
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
Don't be afraid to admit defeat. Learn from defeat. Do over again more thoroughly, more carefully, and more systematically what you have done badly.
Vladimir Lenin
