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
- People loved living under Soviet rule SO much, we call tankies tankies
- 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
would greatly prefer screenshots

- To be fair, I don't mind having most of the issues about hexbear, ml and lemmygrad centralized here
  
  This leaves [email protected] for other stuff
  
  I feel general ranting can go here, but mod bans for trivial or made up reason like this could also be crossposted to YPTB to help get it some activity. It doesn't have to be an either/or situation.
Shoutout to Cowbee for being the most patient Leninist i've ever seen.
- He's usually quite nice to discuss with
  
  Idk who downvoted you but I've only ever really seen him be exceedingly polite. Like, he'll get into a debate with someone who's clearly just there to stir shit and he will quite patiently and honestly respond to their concerns.
  
  Love or hate his political opinions, he's just so nice it's hard to be mad at him.
