More from Vladimir Lenin
"We consider it our duty to suppress the resistance of the exploiters by force."
"We shall be merciless with both our enemies and our allies."
"The best way to celebrate the anniversary of the October Revolution is to consolidate its gains and to prepare new victories."
"Give us the child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever."
"We must be able to combine the strictest loyalty to the ideas of communism with the ability to make all the necessary practical compromises."
About Vladimir Lenin (1870-1924)
Russian revolutionary who led the October 1917 Bolshevik Revolution and founded the Soviet state; What Is to Be Done? (1902) shaped 20th-century revolutionary practice. Closely associated with Leon Trotsky (his Red Army organizer and 1917 partner) and Karl Marx (the source Lenin claimed (and adapted)). For an intellectual contrast, see Karl Popper, Austrian-British philosopher — Popper's The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945) systematically attacked Marx-and-Lenin 'historical inevitability' as the philosophical structure that produces totalitarianism — Lenin's vanguard-party doctrine is Popper's primary 20th-century target.
