More from Vladimir Lenin
"We must learn to approach the masses with the greatest patience and caution, to overcome the prejudices of the masses and replace them with conscious class consciousness."
"The most important thing is to win over the vanguard of the proletariat."
"The state will wither away only when there are no longer any classes."
"The state is a special organisation of force; it is an organisation of violence for the suppression of some class."
"We need to go to the countryside, to the villages, to the peasants. We must explain to them that the Soviet government is the only government that frees them from exploitation."
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.
