Image
Capitalists are no more capable of self-sacrifice than a man is capable of lifting himself up by his own bootstraps.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Sometimes quantity has a quality all its own.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Free speech is a bourgeois prejudice.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
Image
The progressive historical role of capitalism may be summed up in two brief propositions: increase in the productive forces of social labour, and the socialisation of that labour. But both these facts manifest themselves in extremely diverse processes in different branches of the national economy.
Vladimir Lenin

Sometimes - history needs a push.

There can be nothing more abominable than religion.
Vladimir Lenin

An end to wars, peace among the nations, the cessation of pillaging and violence - such is our ideal, but only bourgeois sophists can seduce the masses with this ideal, if the latter is divorced from a direct and immediate call for revolutionary action.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The true leader must submerge himself in the fountain of the people.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One man with a gun can control 100 without one.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Every cook must learn to rule the State.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Give me just one generation of youth, and I'll transform the whole world.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Give me a child for the first 5 years of his life and he will be mine forever.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
People always have been and they always will be stupid victims of deceit and self-deception in politics.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
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
When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time one must always go forward--or go back
