To picture world history as advancing smoothly and steadily without sometimes taking gigantic strides backward is undialectical, unscientific and theoretically wrong.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Socialists cannot achieve their great aim without fighting against all oppression of nations.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is at moments of need that one learns who one's friends are. Defeated armies learn their lesson.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
If Socialism can only be realized when the intellectual development of all the people permits it, then we shall not see Socialism for at least five hundred years.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich -- that is the democracy of capitalist society.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is not national interests we are upholding - we claim that the interests of socialism, the interests of world socialism, rank higher than national interests, higher than the interests of the state. We are defenders of the socialist fatherland.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Soviet power is a new type of state in which there is no bureacracy, no police, no standing army.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
But suppose, for the sake of argument, free competition, without any sort of monopoly, would develop capitalism trade more rapidly. Is it not a fact that the more rapidly trade and capitalism develop, the greater is the concentration of production and capital which gives rise to monopoly?
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Behind the epistemological scholasticism of empirio-criticism one must not fail to see the struggle of parties in philosophy, a struggle which in the last analysis reflects the tendencies and ideology of the antagonistic classes in modern society.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
Image
Monopolies, oligarchy, the striving for domination and not for freedom, the exploitation of an increasing number of small or weak nations by a handful of the richest or most powerful nations -- all these have given birth to those distinctive characteristics of imperialism which compel us to define it as parasitic or decaying capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Act with the greatest determination and on the offensive. The defensive is the death of every armed rising.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The majority of the so-called great powers have long been exploiting and enslaving a whole series of small and weak peoples. And the imperialist war is nothing other than a war for the division and redivision of this kind of booty.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Trust is good, but control is better.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
History causes the military problem to become the essence of the political problem.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
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
Hang (hang without fail, so the people see) no fewer than one hundred known kulaks, rich men, bloodsuckers.
