king_comradeDid you mix up Lenin and Stalin? Weird to see shade thrown at Lenin, spose Marx and Engels were also mass murdering criminals?
Lenin couped a democratic socialist government, started a 4-year long civil war in the process, implemented mass imprisonment of political dissidents, suppressed workers’ rights and freedoms, and attempted to wage wars of aggresion against neighboring states, including crushing the anarchists of Ukraine.
Lenin has a better reputation, and legitimately is not as bad as Stalin… but Lenin is still fucking horrible.
Admittedly a lot of my surface knowledge of the character comes from Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcast and he paints a more nuanced picture of Lenin than just ‘gross war criminal’. I think focusing on just his failures and crimes does a disservice history tbh, I don’t hate your meme I just think Stalin fits better.
