The specific slogan, "Turn the imperialist war into a civil war, that is, into to a proletarian revolution," is famously attributed to Vladimir Lenin.
This slogan was a key element of Lenin's political strategy during World War I. He urged socialists and revolutionaries not to support their respective national governments in the war, which he viewed as a conflict between capitalist powers for imperial dominance.
Instead, Lenin advocated for transforming the inter-state conflict into an internal class struggle – a civil war – aimed at overthrowing the capitalist class and establishing a socialist or proletarian state.
Therefore, Lenin is the leader credited with this revolutionary call.
