More from Vladimir Lenin
"The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves."
"Politics is the most concentrated expression of economics."
"The victory of socialism in all countries of the world is inevitable."
"There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us precisely because he is a scoundrel."
"The goal of revolution is not to replace one government with another, but to replace the state itself."
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.
