[[Vladimir Lenin]] similarly wrote regarding '''atheism and communism''': "A Marxist must be a [[materialism|materialist]], i. e., an enemy of religion, but a dialectical materialist, i. e., one who treats the struggle against religion not in an abstract way, not on the basis of remote, purely theoretical, never varying preaching, but in a concrete way, on the basis of the [[class struggle]] which is going on in practice and is educating the masses more and better than anything else could."<ref>Lenin, Vladimir Ilyich. [http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1909/may/13.htm The Attitude of the Workers' Party to Religion], 1909.</ref>
