Shocking Lenin Quotes

[Imposter Marxist]

"Destroy the family, you destroy the country."

"We shall destroy all churches and kill all priests. Then we'll have total control over people."

"We do not need intellectuals, because their brains are full of shit!"

"If you want to be alive - get out of this country (Russia) and sever all connections."

All qoutes of Lenin. Acording to IMDB's review of the V.I. Lenin Biography.
I have a -slight-feeling some of these are qoute mined.:laugh:

[which doctor]

As I suspected, I can't find any of these quotes at MIA. They are all misquotes.

[Angry Young Man]

Then pull them up about it

[RedStarOverChina]

I don't see anything wrong with them. :)

[cska]

I don't see anything wrong with them. :)

What about this one? "We do not need intellectuals, because their brains are full of shit!"

I would consider Lenin an intellectual... :laugh:

Seriously, though, these cappie vandals are getting on my nerves.

[Zanthorus]

The thing about intellectuals might be a lie but Lenin did actually some stuff that was pretty anti-intellectual:



“In the modern socialist movement, however, there is no conflict of class interests; the socialist movement in its entirety, in all of its diverse forms , including the most pronounced Bernsteinians, stands on the basis of the class interests of the proletariat and its class struggle for political and economic emancipation.” (B. Krichevsky)

A bold assertion! Has not Krichevsky heard of the fact, long ago noted, that it is precisely the extensive participation of an ”academic“ stratum in the socialist movement in recent years that has promoted such a rapid spread of Bernsteinism?


It will be the task of the future centre to reorganise a considerable number of our committees: the inertness of the committeemen has to be overcome ... To place workers on the committees is a political, not only a pedagogical, task. Workers have class instinct, and, given some political experience, they pretty soon become staunch social-democrats. I should be strongly in favour of having eight workers to every two intellectuals on our committees.


A tight hold must always be kept on the intelligentsia. It is always the instigator of all sorts of squabbles.


At the third congress of the party I suggested that there be about eight workers to every two intellectuals in the party committees. How obsolete that suggestion seems today! Now we must wish for the party organisations to have one social-democratic intellectual to several hundred social-democratic workers.

This is one of those "once in a hundred billion years" type deals where I agree with Lenin.

[Sir Comradical]

Great sense of humour he had. Hell I say this kinda stuff all the time.

That isn't anti-intellectual. It is just anti-elitist. You can't have a patriarchal revolution created by intellectuals in the interests of the working class. A revolution must be made up mostly (not necessarily fully) of people who suffer the most under a capitalist system.

[Imposter Marxist]

Its just the way they made it seem.:laugh:

[Zanthorus]

Lenin was pro-intellectual.

I suppose that explains the whole Bolshevik-Menshevik split? IIRC, one of the key issues was that the Mensheviks wanted to make it easier for intellectuals to get into the party and the Bolsheviks wanted to make it harder.

When I become commissar of re-education, Phenomenology of Spirit will be the principle text for the introductory class, 'Thinking Dialectically' at the 'Center for Proletarian Enlightenment.' Then we'll move on to Goethean science, followed by a close study of German Expressionism and advances in music composition made by the Second Viennese School.

you would make a whole generation useful for nothing lol

[A.R.Amistad]

You all talk about Lenin as if he never learned from mistakes, changed his mind, developed new ideas later in life and revised his own work. The Lenin before 1905 was much different then the Lenin around 1917 onward. I would say his fullest thought was formulated around the post 1905 years, since he learned a lot from the '05 experience.

This is my favorite Lenin quote:


Dear Comrade Stalin:
You have been so rude as to summon my wife to the telephone and use bad language. Although she had told you that she was prepared to forget this, the fact nevertheless became known through her to Zinoviev and Kamenev. I have no intention of forgetting so easily what has been done against me, and it goes without saying that what has been done against my wife I consider having been done against me as well. I ask you, therefore, to think it over whether you are prepared to withdraw what you have said and to make your apologies, or whether you prefer that relations between us should be broken off.[1] (http://marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1923/mar/05.htm#fwV45E767)
Respectfully yours,

Yes.
Do you seriously think you can overthrow a deeply embedded social structure and build a new one to replace it without them? Marxism is a project of the intellect. The masses need the intellectuals just as much as the intellectuals need the masses.

I mean intelligent people well-versed in history, politics, culture, theory, etc. who are engaging in communist praxis.

[black magick hustla]

i dont think there is nothing wrong with that. some left communists make a difference between militants and intellectuals though. an intellectual is someone who lends his name to a cause to lend his intellectual prestige. a militant, no matter how well versed he is in history, culture, etc is a militant if he carries organizational work.

Say what? Lenin was a sexual prude, unlike his wife. He was always whingeing about it.
