Matthew 4 and Genesis 3 but the quote comes from Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice”. What you’re engaging in is a variant of the ad hominem fallacy where in the character of the speaker is used to invalidate his wisdom. Despite his horrible actions, Lenin did manage to overthrow a thousand year old monarchy and replace it with a system that rose to world superpower status. I certainly have neither love nor respect for Lenin but I credit him with the wisdom to know exactly what he was doing. His comments on that have value.

Correct! We conservatives (and all Americans for that matter) need to have an understanding of what Lenin said, and how he thought. And that's because many on the far left are using Lenin's playbook to this day.

Know your enemy!
