But I can't listen to music too often. It affects your nerves, makes you want to say stupid, nice things, and stroke the heads of people who could create such beauty while living in this vile hell.
Vladimir Lenin
Image

Sometimes - history needs a push.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
We set ourselves the ultimate aim of abolishing the state, i.e., all organized and systematic violence, all use of violence against people in general.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is not for nothing that Skaldin in one part of his book quotes Adam Smith: we have seen that both his views and the character of his arguments in many respects repeat the theses of that great ideologist of the progressive bourgeoisie.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
For the complete extinction of the state, complete Communism is necessary.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Materialism is the recognition of objects in themselves, or outside the mind ideas and sensations are copies of images of those objects.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.
