Being banned from lemmy.ml is a badge of honor.
I always hated the Leninist model of communism.
Lenin betrayed the revolution because he lost the 1917 election.
He dissolved the newly elected assembly 13 hours into it’s first meeting. (Not that the meeting lasted for 13 hours, they had adjourned for the day, and then Lenin declared them all Counter Revolutionary)
That single act started the Russian Civil War.
Then he has the gall to claim that the new totalitarian government he formed was in any way socialist.
If the state owns everything, and you have zero say in what that state does, then you don’t live under socialism, you live under feudalism.
The only path to socialism is via democracy.
Look at this troll using reason. Blocked /s
The vast amount that Lenin contributed to Marxist Theory and his vital role in creating the first Socialist State, which uplifted hundreds of millions of people and supported numerous anti-colonial and anti-imperialist movements the world over, is absolutely worthy of praise.
I’m sure the Ukrainians, Chechens, Georgians, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Armenians and more resoundingly agree with this take
There is a poll that “people” never wanted USSR to fall apart says the tankie but
Let’s just ignore the referendums held with many relublics having high turn outs and 80-90% votes to leave lol
