Vladimir lenin

Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country.

To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities; that is not to be taken seriously in politics.

It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.

The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.

If Socialism can only be realized when the intellectual development of all the people permits it, then we shall not see Socialism for at least five hundred years.

Under socialism all will govern in turn and will soon become accustomed to no one governing.

Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.

Every cook has to learn how to govern the state.

No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.

Any cook should be able to run the country.
