In what universe?

Commies always talk up democracy, until they get into power. Then they say stuff like this:
“Revolutionary violence cannot be withheld from use against wavering and irresolute elements among the working masses themselves.”

— February 1918

“Dictatorship is a state of intensified war. … Until the final issue is decided, the state of terrible war will continue. And we say war is war—we do not promise any freedom or any democracy.”

— July 25, 1921

“The law should not abolish terror … it should be substantiated and legalized.”

— May 17, 1922
All quotes from Lenin, which come from George Leggett’s book, The Cheka: Lenin’s Political Police (1981).

“Lenin was a fighter for freedom and democracy? In what universe?”

They’ve been teaching these lies at universities for decades. It’s really sick.
