Vladimir Lenin

It is essential to grasp the incontestable truth that a Marxist must take cognisance of real life, of the true facts of reality, and not cling to a theory of yesterday, which, like all theories, at best only outlines the main and the general, only comes near to embracing life in all its complexity.
Vladimir Lenin
Image

Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is necessary - secretly and urgently to prepare the terror.

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
Image
It is stupid to tolerate Nikola all Chekists have to be on alert to shoot anyone who doesn't turn up to work because of Nikola.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Hang (hang without fail, so the people see) no fewer than one hundred known kulaks, rich men, bloodsuckers.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
Image
The working class must break up, smash the ready-made state machinery, and not confine itself merely to laying hold of it.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
I don't care what becomes of Russia. To hell with it. All this is only the road to a World Revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
International unity of the workers is more important than the national.
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.
