We need the real, nation-wide terror which reinvigorates the country and through which the Great French Revolution achieved glory.
Vladimir LeninThe suppression of the bourgeois state by the proletarian state is impossible without violent revolution.
Vladimir LeninWe are not utopians, we do not โdreamโ of dispensing at once with all administration, with all subordination. These anarchist dreams, based upon incomprehension of the tasks of the proletarian dictatorship, are totally alien to Marxism, and, as a matter of fact, serve only to postpone the socialist revolution until people are different. No, we want the socialist revolution with people as they are now, with people who cannot dispense with subordination, control, and "foremen and accountants".
Vladimir Lenin
