When we are victorious on a world scale I think we shall use gold for the purpose of building public lavatories in the streets of some of the largest cities of the world.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
In capitalist society we have a democracy that is curtailed, wretched, false, a democracy only for the rich, for the minority. The dictatorship of the proletariat, the period of transition to communism, will for the first time create democracy for the people, for the majority, along with the necessary suppression of the exploiters, of the minority.
Vladimir Lenin

Can a nation be free if it oppresses other nations? It cannot.
Vladimir Lenin

Vladimir Lenin

Vladimir Lenin
Image

Vladimir Lenin

Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Don't be afraid to admit defeat. Learn from defeat. Do over again more thoroughly, more carefully, and more systematically what you have done badly.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The status of women up to now has been compared to that of a slave women have been tied to the home, and only socialism can save them from this. They will only be completely emancipated when we change from small-scale individual farming to collective farming and collective working of the land.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Sometimes - history needs a push.
Vladimir Lenin

Our program necessarily includes the propaganda of atheism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Only by abolishing private property in land and building cheap and hygienic dwellings can the housing problem be solved.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We are not shooting enough professors.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We do not have time to play at oppositions at conferences. We will keep our political opponents... whether open or disguised as nonparty, in prison.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Democracy is a form of the state, it represents, on the one hand, the organized, systematic use of force against persons but, on the other hand, it signifies the formal recognition of equality of citizens, the equal right of all to determine the structure of, and to administer, the state.
Vladimir Lenin

The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.
