More from Vladimir Lenin
"The experience of all revolutions confirms that only the proletariat, as the most advanced and consistently revolutionary class, can be the leader of the entire toiling and exploited people."
"Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country."
"War is a continuation of policy by other means."
"The most dangerous thing about opportunism is that it hides behind revolutionary phrases."
"The entire history of revolutions shows that they are always accompanied by the most ruthless and bloody civil wars."
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.
