At this point this obsession with Lenin becomes truly annoying. Especially, if we consider the fact that this is now spreading among different comunities on different instances. I am not against people posting about historical quotes, but posts about particularly this person appears way to often from russian accounts that idolize him in their USSR related religion.
And then fun part is that this quote is, in fact, turned to be a manipulation speech to push and encourage workers to revolution only to not keep his promises and indeed to do everything for the survival of his new regime. Basically, he is not better than any other filthy politician.
For real. At least Kim Jong Un has a cool leather jacket and rad sunglasses; Lenin's legacy's a bit shit.
Nestor Makhno, though... That's someone to idolize!
You ever notice that you always idolize people who lose, the martyrs, who never actually got to build a lasting egalitarian and anticapitalist project? But the historical figures (as well as the masses behind them, the true protagonists of history) who do achieve the feat of building an alternative to capitalism that has a fighting chance get nothing but revulsion and condemnation?
lol, no
