It is in prison ... that one becomes a real revolutionary.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into smaller states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
A country of inveterate, backwoods, thick-headed, egotistic philistines
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
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

The goal of socialism is communism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Capitalists will sell us the rope we will hang them with.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
In the end, one or the other will triumph - a funeral dirge will be sung over the Soviet republic or over world capitalism.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
You cannot make a revolution in white gloves.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Act with the greatest determination and on the offensive. The defensive is the death of every armed rising.

I must say that the tasks of the youth in general, and of the Young Communist Leagues and all other organisations in particular, might be summed up in a single word: learn.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Give me your four year olds, and in a generation I will build a socialist state.
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
Honesty in politics is the result of strength hypocrisy is the result of weakness.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
To picture world history as advancing smoothly and steadily without sometimes taking gigantic strides backward is undialectical, unscientific and theoretically wrong.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
One would like to stroke and caress human beings, but one dares not do so, because they bite.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Human reason has discovered many amazing things in nature and will discover still more, and will thereby increase its power over nature.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
The true leader must submerge himself in the fountain of the people.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Behind the October Revolution there are more influential personalities than the thinkers and executors of Marxism.
Vladimir Lenin
