“How much significance can twenty or thirty thousand Oppositionists have for a party of two million? In such a question, the mere juxtaposition of figures means nothing. Ten revolutionists in a regiment is enough to bring it over, in a red-hot political atmosphere, to the side of the people”
― Leon Trotsky, The revolution betrayed: What is the Soviet Union and where is it going?

“The highest task of humanity is to comprehend this objective logic of economic evolution (the evolution of social life) in its general and fundamental features, so that it may be possible to adapt to it ones social consciousness and the consciousness of the advanced classes of all capitalist countries in as definite, clear and critical a fashion as possible”
― Vladimir Lenin

“Estrangement is manifested not only in the fact that my means belong to someone else, that which I desire is the inaccessible possession of another, but also in the fact that everything is itself - that my activity is something else and that finally (and this applies to the capitalist), all is under the sway of inhuman power”
― Karl marx

“To expect science to be impartial in a wage-slave society is as foolishly naive as to expect impartiality from manufacturers on the question of whether workers' wages ought not to be increased by decreasing the profits of capital”
― Vladimir Lenin
