More from Vladimir Lenin
"There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen."
"The victory of socialism is possible first in a few or even in one single capitalist country taken separately."
"There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us precisely because he is a scoundrel."
"One man with a gun can control 100 without one."
"Imperialism is the eve of the social revolution of the proletariat."
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.
