Vladimir Lenin on how the world works

-“Democracy is indispensable to socialism.”
-“Fascism is capitalism in decay.”
- “Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.”
-“ Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” (obvious reference to state public education)
-“ No amount of political freedom will satisfy the hungry masses.”
-“ One man with a gun can control 100 without one.”
-“ The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency.”
-“ The goal of socialism is communism.”
-“ The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.”
-“ The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.”
-“ There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.”
-“ When there is state there can be no freedom, but when there is freedom there will be no state.”
