More from Vladimir Lenin
"The only real guarantee against counter-revolution is the arming of the entire proletariat."
"We must be able to combine the strictest loyalty to the ideas of communism with the ability to make all the necessary practical compromises."
"To rely upon conviction, upon loyalty, upon the conscientiousness of the army – that is stupidity, that is childishness, that is naiveté, that is unworthiness."
"The working class needs a strong, centralized party to lead it to victory."
"The development of capitalism proceeds at an uneven pace in different countries."
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.
