I.V. LENIN: "for a revolutionary to lie and lie convincingly is not only a sign of intelligence, but an imperative when furthering a revolutionary cause"

One drop of truth can outweigh an ocean of lies. --Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn has a conflicting opinion on lying from that of I.V. Lenin.  It should be noted that all communists hate the bourgeoisie or middle class.  The elite hate the middle class because they are a threat to the elite, and the elite uses the poor's hatred of the middle class in a kind of psychological pincer move. 

The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. "One word of truth outweighs the world.

Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.

You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.

Let us not forget that violence does not live alone and is not capable of living alone: it is necessarily interwoven with falsehood. Between them lies the most intimate, the deepest of natural bonds. Violence finds its only refuge in falsehood, falsehood its only support in violence. Any man who has once acclaimed violence as his method must inexorably choose falsehood as his principle.

In our country, the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.

The meaning of earthly existence lies not, as we have grown used to thinking, in prospering, but in the development of the soul...

One drop of truth can outweigh an ocean of lies.
