"To talk about 'freedom of the press' is to talk about freedom of capital to bribe the press."
"Religion is the opium of the people."
"The most dangerous thing about opportunism is that it hides behind revolutionary phrases."
"Capitalists are no more capable of self-sacrifice than a man is capable of lifting himself up by his own bootstraps."
"The advanced countries are the ones that exploit the rest of the world."
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.
