For any truth, if “overdone” (as Dietzgen Senior put it), if exaggerated, or if carried beyond the limits of its actual applicability, can be reduced to an absurdity, and is even bound to become an absurdity under these conditions.

More quotes by Vladimir Lenin
You must act with all energy. Mass searches. Execution for concealing arms.
Vladimir Lenin
We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us.
Vladimir Lenin
He who does not work shall not eat
Vladimir Lenin
Sometimes - history needs a push.
Vladimir Lenin
Act with the greatest determination and on the offensive. The defensive is the death of every armed rising.
Vladimir Lenin
The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.
Vladimir Lenin
One fool can ask more questions in a minute than 12 wise men can answer in an hour.
Vladimir Lenin
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
Hang (hang without fail, so the people see) no fewer than one hundred known kulaks, rich men, bloodsuckers.
Vladimir Lenin
Those who are opposed to armed uprising ... must be ruthlessly kicked out as enemies, traitors and cowards.
Vladimir Lenin
Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich -- that is the democracy of capitalist society.
Vladimir Lenin
The entire trend of development is towards abolition of coercive domination of one part of society over another.
Vladimir Lenin
The soundest strategy in war is to postpone operations until the moral disintegration of the enemy renders the delivery of the mortal blow both possible and easy.
Vladimir Lenin
I must say that the tasks of the youth in general, and of the Young Communist Leagues and all other organisations in particular, might be summed up in a single word: learn.
Vladimir Lenin
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
All countries will inevitably have to do what Russia has done.
Vladimir Lenin
Authority poisons everybody who takes authority on himself.
Vladimir Lenin
Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle. The modern industrial proletariat does not belong to the category of such classes.
Vladimir Lenin
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
We must not depict socialism as if socialists will bring it to us on a plate all nicely dressed. That will never happen. Not a single problem of the class struggle has ever been solved in history except by violence. When violence is exercised by the working people, by the mass of exploited against the exploiters -- then we are for it!
Vladimir Lenin
