V. I. Lenin: “The Call to Power”

Rob Edwards

V. I. Lenin: “The Call to Power”

  • Speech by Lenin on Oct. 24 encouraging immediate action

  • He says that to delay the uprising at all would prove fatal

  • Russia is faced with problems that can't be solved by conferences or congresses, but only by the struggle of the armed masses

  • At present, it isn't important who will take power, because that will be dealt with later by the Revolutionary Military Committee

  • All that matters at the current time is the that the government must be overthrown immediately

  • All power must be taken from the hands of Kerensky and Co. immediately

  • History will not forgive revolutionaries for procrastinating, when their chance of success lessens with every passing moment

  • The government is tottering, and must be given the death blow swiftly and without mercy
