Who, whom?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Comrade Lenin purifies the Earth of evil."

Who, whom? is a Bolshevist principle or slogan which was formulated by Lenin in the Russian language as кто кого (kto kogo). In Lenin's view, this was the fundamental question of politics — who will dominate whom; who will kill and who will die? In this view, all compromises and promises between enemies are just expedients — tactical manoeuvres in the struggle for mastery.[1][2]
