Lenin is such a tragic figure. So brilliant at taking and holding power, so bad at communist theory.
So you’re a Maoist? /s
Tbh everything I said above could be applied to Mao as well. He had the genius insight that the path to power in China lay in a military struggle mobilizing the peasantry when everyone else in party leadership thought that was crazy and un-Marxist, but then when that insight translated into running China he did not do a good job and should have listened to his fellow party members.
Great points.
And looking throughout Chinese history, there hasn't been a leader as leftist as Mao since Mao either. In present day China, the Maoist Communist Party of China (and basically every anti-revisionist communist party) is banned.
Yeah, China and its 1.4 billion people aren’t doing well at all since it collapsed last year. /s
What are you saying here? My criticizing Mao's leadership implies I think China collapsed last year?
😮So easy to influence

Then why not reference what Lenin said rather than Lenin himself
