Lenin preached Marxism, which was close to social-democratic reforms and pure communism – he correctly understood that achieving universal good requires a global communist revolution.
But what is this? Don't confuse Marxism with democracy. Marxism is Bolshevism. That's the first thing. Secondly, what about the universal good in America now, and there are no more Marxists-Leninists? I can imagine, yes, you need to have quite an ego to make everyone dance to your tune. And Lenin had it, because of his subconscious complexes. He would never have been able to carry out a revolution if it hadn't been for the First World War. And not the Second (this refers to socialist-Stalinists). He simply calculated everything well, and again, who suffered from this? The elite of society, scientists, artists, that group of truly intelligent and conscious people who, if they were with us now, would have led Russia to true greatness.
И пока в кармане пачка милкиуэйев - значит все не так уж плохо на сегодняшний день
