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 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.

"to me why he had his minions murder the Tsar and his ENTIRE family"

There is a theory that that was a mere revenge for his brother Alexander who had been executed for participating in a conspiracy to assasinate Nikolas II predecessor. We were told Lenin idolized his big brother but decided to "go a different way". And he won. Eventually, he lost, but in the short run he won.
