By the writer of The Faithful Prepper and The Prepper’s Guide to Post-Disaster Communications,
I discover it odd that no person on the market sells books on Vladimir Lenin. I problem you to have a look at your city’s libraries and bookstores. In case you’re like me, you received’t see a dang factor on Lenin (or Samuel Adams).
That is actually a disgrace as a result of there’s loads that Lenin mentioned that I feel the present world wants to concentrate on. Let’s check out a few of what this man needed to say method again within the early 1900s and see if he nonetheless has had an influence in the present day.
Pertinent quotes from Vladimir Lenin
“We are able to and should write in a language which sows among the many lots hate, revulsion, and scorn towards those that disagree with us.”
Bear in mind this if you see each speaking head in your TV saying the very same factor. Learn the headlines of a number of the main newspapers and magazines over the course of the previous few years. Do you see “othering” being carried out? Or do you see peace being advocated for?
“The press needs to be not solely a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but additionally a collective organizer of the lots.”
This ties in very well with the above quote. Peaceable protests, anybody?
“The objective of socialism is communism.”
Simply in case there’s anyone on the market silly sufficient to inform you the road, “However socialism is totally different! It doesn’t result in communism!” you possibly can present them what one of many foremost Marxists in historical past needed to say on the topic.
“Why ought to freedom of speech and freedom of press be allowed? Why ought to a authorities which is doing what it believes to proper enable itself to be criticized? It could not enable opposition by deadly weapons. Concepts are way more deadly issues than weapons. Why ought to any man be allowed to purchase a printing press and disseminate pernicious opinions calculated to embarrass the federal government?”
Do you suppose that freedom of speech – no matter format – has been protected of late? Or has it been attacked from each angle?
“One man with a gun can management 100 with out one.”
Mao Zedong’s “Political energy grows out of the barrel of a gun” can be a pleasant tie-in right here. Does this make you a bit suspicious about all the discuss the disarmament of American citizens?
“The best way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.”
It’s possible that you just pay over 50% of all that you just earn in taxes. Think about the devaluing of the dollar over the course of the previous few years as effectively.
“One of many primary circumstances for the victory of socialism is the arming of the employees Communist and the disarming of the bourgeoisie the center class.”
This can be a dialogue in and of itself. Legal guidelines for thee however not for me.
“Medication is the keystone of the arch of socialism.”
I like this. It actually speaks for itself.
“We aren’t capturing sufficient professors.”
“However communism is about love, concord, idealism, and world peace!” you say.
*commences heavy eye roll.*
That doesn’t sound like every of these issues to me. This appears like a depraved man advocating for widespread homicide.
“The institution of a central financial institution is 90% of communizing a nation.”
May it maybe must do along with his above quote on inflation?
“Pacifism, the preaching of peace within the summary, is without doubt one of the technique of duping the working class.”
This goes hand in hand with the entire Mao Zedong dialogue.
“Give me 4 years to show the kids, and the seed I’ve sown won’t ever be uprooted.”
How lengthy do school college students take to get their levels? 4 years, proper? Is that sufficient time to indoctrinate anyone? You betcha.
“How are you going to make a revolution with out executions?”
Ought to the precise info of what number of hundreds of thousands of individuals have been murdered by collectivists not be sufficient to alter your thoughts, maybe the precise quotes of Lenin will do it? Collectivism is about loss of life.
“I don’t care what turns into of Russia. To hell with it. All that is solely the street to a World Revolution.”
Are we seeing the loss of life of nationwide sovereignty all through the world proper now? Are we seeing stronger and stronger worldwide “alliances” and teams? Are they speaking about worldwide legislation fairly a bit? Are they speaking about worldwide police forces? Have you ever ever heard of Interpol?
“No Marxist can deny that the pursuits of socialism are larger than the pursuits of the proper of countries to self-determination.”
Dang, I really feel like we simply talked about this.
“By destroying the peasant financial system and driving the peasant from the nation to the city, the famine creates a proletariat… Moreover, famine can and needs to be a progressive issue not solely economically. It’s going to drive the peasant to mirror on the bases of the capitalist system, demolish religion within the tsar and tsarism, and consequently sooner or later make the victory of the revolution simpler… Psychologically all this discuss feeding the ravenous and so forth primarily displays the standard sugary sentimentality of our intelligentsia.”
So, wait…you’re saying that making a famine might be helpful to constructing a communist state? That makes me need to take into consideration these meals processing services bursting into flames a bit extra.

“One of the simplest ways to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the foreign money.”
Like by way of inflation through a centrally run financial institution?

Effectively, you inform me. What do you suppose? Are there every other philosophies you suppose are getting used to manage the populace? Do you see the affect Lenin’s phrases nonetheless maintain? Tell us within the remark part under.
