The workers and peasants must, as quickly as possible, seize everything that was created by them over many centuries and use it for their own interests.

» Maria Nikiforova - all quotes »
After retaining power for two months and ten days, the workers of Paris, who for the first time in history established the Commune, the embryo of Soviet power, perished at the hands of the French Cadets, Mensheviks and Right Socialist-Revolutionaries of a Kaledin type. The French workers had to pay an unprecedentedly heavy price for the first experience of workers' government, the meaning and purpose of which the overwhelming majority of the peasants in France did not know.
Vladimir Lenin
The civil war which was started by the Cadet-Kaledin counter-revolutionary revolt against the Soviet authorities, against the workers’ and peasants’ government, has finally brought the class struggle to a head and has destroyed every chance of setting in a formally democratic way the very acute problems with which history has confronted the peoples of Russia, and in the first place her working class and peasants.
Vladimir Lenin
These men volunteered to fight against the German Kaiser's armies - not against Russian workers and peasants.
Tim Buck
The most important thing in my life, its leitmotif, has been the constant and close contacts with working people, with workers and peasants.
Leonid Brezhnev
Academic Marxism is a fantasy world, and unctuous compassion-sweepstakes, into which real workers or peasants never penetrate.
