“We stand for organized terror - this should be frankly admitted. Terror is
an absolute necessity during times of revolution.”
Lenin argued how individual terrorism, which will initially prove
effective, must in time give way to mass terrorism, in other words sys-
tematic violence, armed massacres and civil war as follows:
A And so matters are moving ahead! Despite the incredible and utterly inde-
scribable difficulties, headway is being made in the matter of getting
armed. Individual terrorism, bred of intellectualist impotence, is gradually
becoming a thing of the past. Instead of spending tens of thousands of
rubles and a vast amount of revolutionary energy on the assassination of
some Sergei …, on assassinations “in the name of the people”—military
operations together with the people are now commencing. It is by engag-
ing in such operations that the pioneers of armed struggle become fused
with the masses not merely in word but in deed, assume leadership of the
combat squads and contingents of the proletariat, train in the crucible of
civil war dozens of popular leaders who, tomorrow, on the day of the
workers’ uprising, will be able to help with their experience and their
heroic courage thousands and tens of thousands of workers. …
… it is only necessary to begin extensive propaganda of this idea immedi-
ately, form such contingents, supply them with all sorts of weapons, rang-
ing from knives and revolvers to bombs, and give these contingents
military training and education.
Fortunately, the time has passed when revolution was “made” by individ-
ual revolutionary terrorists, because the people were not revolutionary.
The bomb has ceased to be the weapon of the solitary “bomb thrower”,
and is becoming an essential weapon of the people. 28
The Harvard historian Richard Pipes investigated secret Soviet
archives to research his book, The Unknown Lenin. Revealing that Lenin
gave countless orders to have people tortured and murdered, he ends
his book with this evaluation:
With the evidence currently available it becomes difficult to deny that
Lenin was, not an idealist, but a mass murderer, a man who believed that
the best way to solve problems—no matter whether real or imaginary—
was to kill off the people who caused them. It is he who originated the
practice of political and social extermination that in the twentieth century
would claim tens of millions of lives. 29
