More from Vladimir Lenin
"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."
"One man with a gun can control 100 without one."
"Yes, I am a monster, a bloodthirsty beast. But I am a monster for the good of the world."
"To talk about 'freedom of the press' is to talk about freedom of capital to bribe the press."
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.
