Darn shame there isn't more stories like that. Not even Putin seems to want to expose Lenin's true sordid history. You'd think he'd be like Khrushchev regarding Stalin and expose his true nature fully by releasing the most damaging stuff from the KGB archives. Well, either way, this tiny bit of evidence indicates he would have most likely turned out like Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy at best regardless of whether Aleksandr survived or not.
Dang it, forgot to post the actual title instead of the link.
Actual title, you can ask the mods to fix:
“The Truth about Vladimir Lenin – The Father of Post-Truth Politics?”
Looks interesting.
So basically just another elitist trustafarian who craved power and the ability to command over peoples’ lives. Some things never change.
Of course, Stalin would add a couple more zeroes to the Communist butcher bill after Lenin's death.
The single best incredibly short assessment of Lenin is in Paul Johnson’s “Modern Times.” His paragraph on Lenin’s obsession with terror & murder is one for the ages.
Heros of the revolution!
Marx, a middle class drunken pedophile wife beater; Che Guevara, a doctor who stole his rich wife,s jewelry and ran off to Cuba and enjoyed shooting people; Stalin, a hyper paranoid who killed anyone who looked him the wrong way and used terror to cement his power (Did he actually die of a stroke as reported, or was he also a syphilitic?); Mao, an inept educator whose policies killed about 50 million chinese!
