Where the bourgeois economists saw a relation between things (the exchange of one commodity for another) Marx revealed a relation between people.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Communists have become bureaucrats. If anything will destroy us, it is this.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
It is necessary - secretly and urgently to prepare the terror.
Vladimir Lenin

Freedom of speech and the press must be complete. But then freedom of association must be complete too.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
False rhetoric and false boastfulness spell moral ruin and lead unfailingly to political extinction.

The suppression of the bourgeois state by the proletarian state is impossible without violent revolution.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
Unity must be won, and only the workers, the class-conscious workers themselves can win it - by stubborn and persistent effort.
