More from Vladimir Lenin
"The more powerful the bourgeoisie, the more it suppresses the proletariat."
"The victory of socialism in all countries of the world is inevitable."
"The more powerful the resistance, the more ruthless will be our terror."
"The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses."
"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.
