Vladimir Lenin — "The victory of socialism in all countries of the world is inevitable."

"The state will wither away only when there are no longer any classes."

"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 must be able to withstand everything, to agree to any sacrifice, and even — if need be — to resort to all sorts of strategems, manoeuvres, and illegal methods, to evasions and subterfuges, in order…"

"We shall conquer the world not by arms, but by an idea."

"We must follow the path of the German Marxists. They have shown us how to defeat the enemy."
