More quotes by 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
Man’s consciousness not only reflects the objective world, but creates it.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One must always try to be as radical as reality itself.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
All our lives we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of the single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
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
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
Only struggle educates the exploited class. Only struggle discloses to it the magnitude of its own power, widens its horizon, enhances its abilities, clarifies its mind, forges its will.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When a liberal is abused, he says, ‘Thank God they didn’t beat me.’ When he is beaten, he thanks God they didn’t kill him. When he is killed, he will thank God that his immortal soul has been delivered from its mortal clay.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Peace, Land, and Bread! All power to the Soviet!
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Freedom of speech and the press must be complete. But then freedom of association must be complete too.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
International unity of the workers is more important than the national.
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
Those who are opposed to armed uprising ... must be ruthlessly kicked out as enemies, traitors and cowards.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Russians are too kind, they lack the ability to apply determined methods of revolutionary terror.
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
A party is the vanguard of a class, and its duty is to lead the masses and not merely to reflect the average political level of the masses.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
If democracy, in essence, means the abolition of class domination, then why should not a socialist minister charm the whole bourgeois world by orations on class collaboration?
Vladimir Lenin
Image
History causes the military problem to become the essence of the political problem.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is at moments of need that one learns who one's friends are. Defeated armies learn their lesson.
