"We shall be victorious because we are right."
"The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."
"The state will wither away only when there are no longer any classes."
"The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses."
"We are fighting for the complete victory of the proletariat and the peasantry."
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.
