More from Vladimir Lenin
"We must not fear difficulties, but overcome them."
"To talk about 'freedom of the press' is to talk about freedom of capital to bribe the press."
"Our program is the complete destruction of the state, the complete destruction of all class distinctions, the complete liberation of all working people from exploitation."
"The victory of socialism in one country is possible."
"The state is a special organisation of force; it is an organisation of violence for the suppression of some class."
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.
