More from Vladimir Lenin
"There is no 'democracy' in the abstract, there is only class democracy."
"We shall conquer the world not by arms, but by an idea."
"To rely upon conviction, upon loyalty, upon the conscientiousness of the army – that is stupidity, that is childishness, that is naiveté, that is unworthiness."
"Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism."
"We must not forget that the state, even in a democratic republic, is an instrument of oppression of one class by another."
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.
