'Without a revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.' Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, leader of the Bolshevik Revolution and founder of the USSR, was profoundly aware of the power of words. As a zealous orator and prolific writer, he used his words to launch a soaring critique of imperialist society and to theorize the development of the world's first socialist state. Much of his writing was translated into English in order to further the Socialist cause.This book is a compilation of some of Lenin's most famous sayings, taken from speeches, tracts, letters and recorded conversations. They expose his views on topics ranging from democracy to terrorism, from religion to Stalin's untrustworthiness and from education to music. Accompanied by a range of arresting images, including contemporary propaganda posters, photographs, portraits, illustrations and Soviet art, these aphoristic proclamations offer an insight into the atmosphere of pre- and post-Revolutionary Russia and the mind of one of the twentieth century's most defining political figures.

That stated, I find myself vehemently agreeing with Lenin, whilst vehemently disagreeing with Lenin. I seem to be with Lenin as to the nature of oppression of the masses by millionaire (now billionaire) capitalists, whilst parting ways over his solution of violence and terrorism. I'm afraid I'm one of those leftist pacifists he seems to have disapproved of, which, I think, means he'd have considered me a capitalist lacky. But, perhaps I'm reading too much into what are essentially a collection of communist aphorisms. I think I need to read something a bit deeper to get a better sense of Lenin's philosophy. ( )
