The bourgeoisie is many times stronger than we. To give it the weapon of freedom of the press is to ease the enemy's cause, to help the class enemy. We do not desire to end in suicide, so we will not do this.

More quotes by Vladimir Lenin
It is true that liberty is precious so precious that it must be carefully rationed.
Vladimir Lenin
International unity of the workers is more important than the national.
Vladimir Lenin
Atheism is the natural and inseparable part of Communism.
Vladimir Lenin
The bourgeoisie incites the workers of one nation against those of another in the endeavour to keep them disunited.
Vladimir Lenin
Face the truth squarely. In politics that is always the best and the only correct attitude.
Vladimir Lenin
The entire trend of development is towards abolition of coercive domination of one part of society over another.
Vladimir Lenin
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
The political form of a society wherein the proletariat is victorious in overthrowing the bourgeoisie will be a democratic republic.
Vladimir Lenin
Comrade Stalin, having become Secretary-General, has unlimited authority concentrated in his hands, and I am not sure whether he will always be capable of using that authority with sufficient caution.
Vladimir Lenin
The war is relentless: it puts the alternative in a ruthless relief.
Vladimir Lenin
The majority of the so-called great powers have long been exploiting and enslaving a whole series of small and weak peoples. And the imperialist war is nothing other than a war for the division and redivision of this kind of booty.
Vladimir Lenin
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
Democracy is a form of the state, it represents, on the one hand, the organized, systematic use of force against persons but, on the other hand, it signifies the formal recognition of equality of citizens, the equal right of all to determine the structure of, and to administer, the state.
Vladimir Lenin
In capitalist society we have a democracy that is curtailed, wretched, false, a democracy only for the rich, for the minority. The dictatorship of the proletariat, the period of transition to communism, will for the first time create democracy for the people, for the majority, along with the necessary suppression of the exploiters, of the minority.
Vladimir Lenin
We must pursue the removal of church property by any means necessary in order to secure for ourselves a fund of several hundred million gold rubles.
Vladimir Lenin
Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
Vladimir Lenin
The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into smaller states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them.
Vladimir Lenin
There are decades where nothing happens and there are weeks where decades happen.
Vladimir Lenin
The true leader must submerge himself in the fountain of the people.
Vladimir Lenin
It is at moments of need that one learns who one's friends are. Defeated armies learn their lesson.
