Quote

This fear of criticism displayed by the advocates of freedom of criticism cannot be attributed solely to craftiness. No, the majority of the Economists look with sincere resentment upon all theoretical controversies, factional disagreements, broad political questions, plans for organising revolutionaries, etc.

More quotes by Vladimir Lenin

Image
Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Democracy for an insignificant minority, democracy for the rich -- that is the democracy of capitalist society.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Every cook must learn to rule the State.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Hang (hang without fail, so the people see) no fewer than one hundred known kulaks, rich men, bloodsuckers.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Of all the arts, for us the cinema is the most important.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Pacifism, the preaching of peace in the abstract, is one of the means of duping the working class.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
But democracy is by no means a limit one may not overstep it is only one of the stages in the course of development from feudalism to capitalism, and from capitalism to Communism.
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
Any army which does not train to use all the weapons, all the means and methods of warfare that the enemy possesses, or may possess, is behaving in an unwise or even criminal manner. This applies to politics even more than it does to the art of war.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
A political leader who desires to be useful to the revolutionary proletariat must be able to distinguish concrete cases of compromises that are inexcusable and are an expression of opportunism and treachery.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The only one who doesn't make mistakes is the one who doesn't do anything.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
War cannot be abolished unless classes are abolished.
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
The political form of a society wherein the proletariat is victorious in overthrowing the bourgeoisie will be a democratic republic.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Free speech is a bourgeois prejudice.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion, and scorn toward those who disagree with us.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Bourgeois democracy is democracy of pompous phrases, solemn words, exuberant promises and the high-sounding slogans of freedom and equality. But, in fact, it screens the non-freedom and inferiority of women, the non-freedom and inferiority of the toilers and exploited.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You cannot make a revolution in white gloves.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One man with a gun can control 100 without one.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
There are no morals in politics there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.
Vladimir Lenin
