More from Vladimir Lenin
"The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency."
"The sound of the machine-gun is the finest music in the world."
"The transition from capitalism to communism will certainly create a great variety of political forms, but their essence will inevitably be the same: the dictatorship of the proletariat."
"The revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat is power won and maintained by the violence of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie, power that is unrestricted by any laws."
"We must learn to approach the masses with the greatest patience and caution, so as not to spoil the work of socialist construction by hasty and clumsy measures."
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.
