Hand his body over to the democRATS, so they can continue their wishful thinking.

Lenin not a bad guy?

Lenin was a staunch atheist who espoused the works of Karl Marx, ie. there no God, the state is God. etc. If there is no God, there is no good and evil. The end justifies the means, etc.

You should know the rest.

Donate him to the " Bodyworks" exhibit. he can be plasticized and put on exhibit without all the elaborate preservation now used . It can be billed as the " Lenin World Tour "
Reserve a spot for Clinton also .

"Whatever happened to the guy whose job it was to take deli-thin slices of Lenin's brain to study microscopically?"

I think he's working at the Russian deli around the corner from my house.

Can you tell me about the quality of life peasants faced in russia in, say, 1905? Would they have any motive to be discontented with the monarchy?

The youngest Russian adults barely recall the Communist times, and some show little interest in looking back.

"Lenin," mused Natasha Zakharova, 23, as she walked off Red Square on Tuesday, admitting that she was not quite sure whose body she had just seen. "Was he a Communist?"

I love it.

BTW, his body is embalmed... it's not like they have some desiccated 80-year-old husk on display.

Well, the RATS are always looking for a candidate for 08, and even a few idiots here seem to admire him, so I guess they could mail him to the DNC and their lapdogs in the MSM could campaign for him.

Out of the skillet and into the fire. Communism did exactly what Lenin and Marx intended it to do, get the masses on your side with empty rhetoric and then put yourself in the mansion.

If Lenin were such an upstanding guy, can you explain to me why he had his minions murder the Tsar and his ENTIRE family? He was merely a thug dictator doing what all thug dictators have done throughout history, stake a claim to power and eliminate anyone who might challenge him. His disciple Stalin took that lesson to heart in regards to rotsky.

Lenin did a lot worse things then being an atheist. There are a number of Atheist Freepers.

I think most of those people think, given the relatively short time he was in power and given the brutality of his immediate successor, maybe if he'd lived longer, he would have showed us a "kinder, gentler" communism. The fact is that Lenin was the exact same thing as Stalin, murdering anyone who got in the way of his quest for power.

Lenin bore a grudge against the Romanovs because they had his brother killed. He wanted to ensure that there were no more claimants to the throne. Not that that excuses the act of course.

Still, even an embalmed body after 80 years isn't exactly something you wanna keep laying around

Bury him in Seattle. I hear there is a statue of him there already.

His NEP (New Economic Policy) was kind of Gorbachev Perestroika and did offer some relief to the people after the atrocities of the Civil War.

I didn't know that, but that's a good point. Thanks.
