Lenin on Bourgeois Democracy

Lenin on Bourgeois Democracy

“Proletarian democracy suppresses the exploiters, the bourgeoisie, and gives the working people genuine democracy. Only Soviet Russia has given the proletariat and the whole vast labouring majority of Russia a freedom and democracy by replacing bourgeois parliamentarism by the democratic organisation of the Soviets, which are a thousand times nearer to the people and more democratic than the most democratic bourgeois parlaiment.”
