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

Modlog if people are interested: https://lemmy.ml/modlog/8
Being banned from lemmy.ml is a badge of honor.
To be fair, I don’t mind having most of the issues about hexbear, ml and lemmygrad centralized here
This leaves !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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.
I still have to write my post for YPTB. Maybe this weekend if I have some time.
On the other hand not having too much activity on YPTB shows that there isn’t too much power tripping happening, which is good too
It could be that, or it could be that it’s still relatively unknown though.
I just saw a new post about pet food on !vegan@lemmy.world , so potentially new material to cover
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.
Indeed!
