Vladimir Lenin
Image
The state does not function as we desired. A man is at the wheel and seems to lead it, but the car does not drive in the desired direction. It moves as another force wishes.

Vladimir Lenin
Image
Ideological talk and phrase mongering about political liberties should be disposed with all that is just mere chatter and phrase mongering. We should get away from those phrases.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
All contemporary religions and churches, all and every kind of religious organization, Marxism has always viewed as organs of bourgeois reaction, serving as a defense of exploitation and the doping of the working-classes.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Autocracy cannot do without its twin agents: a hangman and a priest, the first to suppress popular resistance by force, the second to sweeten and embellish the lot of the oppressed with empty promises of a heavenly kingdom.
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
It is necessary - secretly and urgently to prepare the terror.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You can become a Communist only when you enrich your mind with a knowledge of all the treasures created by mankind.
Vladimir Lenin
