If the Bolshevik dictatorship fell, it was only a short step to chaos, and through chaos to a peasant uprising, the massacre of the Communists, the return of the émigrés, and in the end, through the sheer force of events, another dictatorship, this time anti-proletarian #1917LIVE

The revolution died a self-inflicted death in 1918 with the establishment of the Cheka. #1917LIVE

One has to march in step with life, and face reality. One has to remain on the terrain of facts. #1917LIVE

All violence is dictatorial! Vladimir Lenin #1917LIVE

It's a question to ask ourselves if we're not mad. But who are the madmen, in God's name? Those who wonder about it, or the others? If we ever began to speak out loud, what would they do with us, tell me? #1917LIVE

I do not, after all my reflection on the subject, cast any doubt upon the scientific spirit of Marxism, nor on its contribution, a blend of rationality and idealism, to the consciousness of our age. #1917LIVE Leon Trotsky

All the same, I cannot help considering as a positive disaster the fact that a Marxist orthodoxy should, in a great country in the throes of social transformation, have taken over the apparatus of power. #1917LIVE Vladimir Lenin

Whatever may be the scientific value of a doctrine, from the moment that it becomes governmental, interests of State will cease to allow it the possibility of impartial inquiry; #1917LIVE Joseph Stalin

and its scientific certitude will even lead it first to intrude into education, and then, by the methods of guided thought, which is the same as suppressed thought, to exempt itself from criticism. #1917LIVE Pravda

The relationships between error and true understanding are in any case too abstruse for anyone to presume to regulate them by authority. #1917LIVE Pyotr Kropotkin Nestor Makhno

Our great Marxists of Russia, nurtured on Science, would not admit any doubt concerning the dialectical conception of Nature- which is, however, no more than a hypothesis, and one difficult to sustain at that. #1917LIVE Kronstadt Rebels

It is often said that ‘the germ of all Stalinism was in Bolshevism at its beginning’. Well, I have no objection. #1917LIVE Joseph Stalin

Only, Bolshevism also contained many other germs, a mass of other germs, and those who lived through the enthusiasm of the first years of the first victorious socialist revolution ought not to forget it. #1917LIVE Pyotr Kropotkin

To judge the living man by the death germs which the autopsy reveals in the corpse – and which he may have carried in him since his birth – is that very sensible? #1917LIVE Rosa Luxemburg
