More quotes by Vladimir Lenin
Can a nation be free if it oppresses other nations? It cannot.
Vladimir Lenin
Chess is only a recreation and not an occupation.
Vladimir Lenin
The constitution of Soviet Russia must insure equal rights for all citizens regardless of sex, creed, race, or nationality.
Vladimir Lenin
Under socialism all will govern in turn and will soon become accustomed to no one governing.
Vladimir Lenin
Soviet power is a new type of state in which there is no bureacracy, no police, no standing army.
Vladimir Lenin
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
When it comes to hang the capitalists they will compete with each other to sell us the rope at a lower price.
Vladimir Lenin
Human thought by its nature is capable of giving, and does give, absolute truth, which is compounded of a sum-total of relative truths.
Vladimir Lenin
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
Pacifism, the preaching of peace in the abstract, is one of the means of duping the working class.
Vladimir Lenin
The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament.
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
If it were necessary to give the briefest possible definition of imperialism, we should have to say that imperialism is the monopoly stage of capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
The Bolsheviks could not have retained power for two and a half months, let alone two and a half years, without the most rigorous and truly iron discipline in our Party.
Vladimir Lenin
Free speech is a bourgeois prejudice.
Vladimir Lenin
Dictatorship is rule based directly upon force and unrestricted by any laws. The revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat is rule won and maintained by the use of violence by the proletariat against the bourgeoisie, rule that is unrestricted by any laws.
Vladimir Lenin
Our aim is to achieve a socialist system of society, which, by eliminating the division of mankind into classes, by eliminating all exploitation of man by man and nation by nation, will inevitably eliminate the very possibility of war.
Vladimir Lenin
Attention, must be devoted principally to raising the workers to the level of revolutionaries it is not our task to descend to the level of the 'working masses'.
Vladimir Lenin
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
Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.
Vladimir Lenin
