Question
-
The quotes all refer to how capitalism is a system in which a small group of wealthy people has privileges and control over the rest. The capitalist democracy only works for a tiny group that strives for domination and power, meaning that this system doesn't benefit 90% of the population. These quotes can be related to Vladimir Lenin's mindset because he was also against the capitalist system and firmly believed that if the working class, which composed most of the population, could unite, they would end this system that only benefits the rich. He thought that things should be equal for everyone and that Russia's government was only democratic to some.
