More from Vladimir Lenin
"The rich and the rogues are two sides of the same coin, they are the two principal categories of parasites whom the Soviet government must most persistently combat."
"We must combine the struggle for democracy with the struggle for socialism."
"We shall shatter all the old laws and institutions, all the old traditions and customs, and we shall create new ones."
"The victory of socialism in all countries of the world is inevitable."
"The more we learn, the more we see that the old order must be destroyed."
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.
