Vladimir Lenin quotes about
Our power does not know liberty or justice. It is established on the destruction of the individual will.
If we can effectively kill the national pride and patriotism of just one generation, we will have won that country. Therefore, there must be continued propaganda abroad to undermine the loyalty of citizens in general, and teenagers in particular. By making drugs of various kinds readily available, by creating the necessary attitude of chaos, idleness and worthlessness, and by preparing him psychologically and politically, we can succeed.
When it comes to hang the capitalists they will compete with each other to sell us the rope at a lower price.
Free speech is a bourgeois prejudice.
Can a nation be free if it oppresses other nations? It cannot.
I don't care what becomes of Russia. To hell with it. All this is only the road to a World Revolution.
Capitalists will sell us the rope we will hang them with.

The most important thing in illness is never to lose heart.
No revolution is worth anything unless it can defend itself.
Communists have become bureaucrats. If anything will destroy us, it is this.
For the first time the peasant has seen real freedom - freedom to eat his bread, freedom from starvation.
You cannot do anything without rousing the masses to action. A plenary meeting of the Soviet must be called to decide on mass searches in Petrograd and the goods stations. To carry out these searches, each factory and company must form contingents, not on a voluntary basis: it must be the duty of everyone to take part in these searches under the threat of being deprived of his bread card. We can't expect to get anywhere unless we resort to terrorism: speculators must be shot on the spot. Moreover, bandits must be dealt with just as resolutely: they must be shot on the spot.
Behind the October Revolution there are more influential personalities than the thinkers and executors of Marxism.
