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.

More quotes by Vladimir Lenin
No Marxist can deny that the interests of socialism are higher than the interests of the right of nations to self-determination.
Vladimir Lenin
Man’s consciousness not only reflects the objective world, but creates it.
Vladimir Lenin
Give us the child for eight years and it will be a Bolshevik forever.
Vladimir Lenin
This fear of criticism displayed by the advocates of freedom of criticism cannot be attributed solely to craftiness. No, the majority of the Economists look with sincere resentment upon all theoretical controversies, factional disagreements, broad political questions, plans for organising revolutionaries, etc.
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
I am a bad, wicked man, but I am practicing moral self-purification I don't eat meat any more, I now eat rice cutlets.
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
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
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
People always have been the foolish victims of deception and self-deception in politics, and they always will be, until they have learned to seek out the interests of some class or other behind all moral, religious, political and social phrases, declarations and promises.
Vladimir Lenin
Face the truth squarely. In politics that is always the best and the only correct attitude.
Vladimir Lenin
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
You cannot do anything without rousing the masses to action.
Vladimir Lenin
One of the basic conditions for the victory of socialism is the arming of the workers Communist and the disarming of the bourgeoisie the middle class.
Vladimir Lenin
Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
Vladimir Lenin
Three keys to success: read, read, read.
Vladimir Lenin
The only one who doesn't make mistakes is the one who doesn't do anything.
Vladimir Lenin
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.
Vladimir Lenin
A party is the vanguard of a class, and its duty is to lead the masses and not merely to reflect the average political level of the masses.
Vladimir Lenin
False rhetoric and false boastfulness spell moral ruin and lead unfailingly to political extinction.
Vladimir Lenin
