Vladimir Lenin
Image

Vladimir Lenin
Image
Act with the greatest determination and on the offensive. The defensive is the death of every armed rising.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time one must always go forward - or go back. He who now talks about the 'freedom of the press' goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency.
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
Capitalists will sell us the rope we will hang them with.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
All official and liberal science defends wage-slavery, whereas Marxism has declared relentless war on that slavery.
