More from Vladimir Lenin
"There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us precisely because he is a scoundrel."
"Hang no fewer than one hundred well-known kulaks, rich men, bloodsuckers, and make sure that the hanging takes place in full view of the people."
"We shall be victorious because we are right."
"All power to the Soviets!"
"When we are victorious on a world scale I think we shall use gold for the purpose of building public lavatories in the streets of the great cities of the world."
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.
