Please don’t give a platform to every dumb thing he says.

Time is better spent caring for yourself and others and people close to you. And organizing.

Well, one of Lenin’s first acts was to establish a secret police force and arrest all the Socialist Revolutionaries, you know, the people who actually carried out the February revolution and won the 1917 constitutional assembly vote. Lenin’s Bolsheviks did not win, but by then he had couped the government and betrayed the revolution, starting the Russian Civil War.

But saying he betrayed the revolution implied he had any part in it in the first place.

Then, when Lenin died, he had his third version of a sprawling secret police force that Stalin could use without any alteration beyond putting his own supporters in control.

All with “Vanguard Parties” that were just another name for totalitarian rule where dissent was arrested and secretly tortured and murdered, but not that secretly, because they also wanted to spread fear and terror.

If he could be more like Trotsky, that would be great

If trunk wanted to take a hard turn into Longism, I think it could work for him, and would appeal to him.

It would still have literally every problem longism had, but that’s not worse than this.

Am I in the mirror universe again?

Now I wonder how much other communist leaders charged for rent.
