More quotes by Vladimir Lenin

Image
We must not depict socialism as if socialists will bring it to us on a plate all nicely dressed. That will never happen. Not a single problem of the class struggle has ever been solved in history except by violence. When violence is exercised by the working people, by the mass of exploited against the exploiters -- then we are for it!
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Politics begin where the masses are, not where there are thousands, but where there are millions, that is where serious politics begin.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The Poor Peasants' Committees are necessary to fight the kulaks, the rich, the exploiters, who shackle the working peasants.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Lenin, the greatest man of action in our century and at the same time the most selfless.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Germany will militarize herself out of existence, England will expand herself out of existence, and America will spend herself out of existence.
Vladimir Lenin

Bah, tombstones are only good for pigeons to sit on
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is, of course, much easier to shout, abuse, and howl than to attempt to relate, to explain.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The leaders of the petty bourgeoisie must teach the people to trust the bourgeoisie. The proletarians must teach the people to distrust the bourgeoisie.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is essential to grasp the incontestable truth that a Marxist must take cognisance of real life, of the true facts of reality, and not cling to a theory of yesterday, which, like all theories, at best only outlines the main and the general, only comes near to embracing life in all its complexity.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Comrade Stalin, having become Secretary-General, has unlimited authority concentrated in his hands, and I am not sure whether he will always be capable of using that authority with sufficient caution.
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
It is not national interests we are upholding - we claim that the interests of socialism, the interests of world socialism, rank higher than national interests, higher than the interests of the state. We are defenders of the socialist fatherland.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
No mercy for these enemies of the people, the enemies of socialism, the enemies of the working people! War to the death against the rich and their hangers-on, the bourgeois intellectuals war on the rogues, the idlers and the rowdies!
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You cannot do anything without rousing the masses to action.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The soundest strategy in war is to postpone operations until the moral disintegration of the enemy renders the delivery of the mortal blow both possible and easy.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Capitalists will sell us the rope we will hang them with.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
How can you make a revolution without executions?
Vladimir Lenin
Image
For the first time the peasant has seen real freedom - freedom to eat his bread, freedom from starvation.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
War cannot be abolished unless classes are abolished.
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
