Lenin was an angry child, who grew into a furious adult after the government executed his brother. In the book, Lenin: The Compulsive Revolutionary, Stefan Possony describes Lenin’s essential lawlessness, writing, “His immorality and even criminality are starkly etched…” In fact, Marxism is also a quintessentially lawless, immoral and criminal movement. This is because the very idea behind Marxism is the rightness of overturning all authority, confiscating all property, eliminating all foes, and rebuilding society from the ground up. So it goes without saying that all rules and laws are deemed expendable in such a scheme.
And again, as Possony describes Lenin below, I saw these characteristics in more and more children (both boys and girls) in the last few years in which I taught school:
Possony describes Lenin as,
Self-righteous, rude, demanding, ruthless, despotic, formalistic, bureaucratic, disciplined, cunning, intolerant, stubborn, one-sided, suspicious, distant, asocial, cold-blooded, ambitious, purposive, vindictive, spiteful, a grudge-holder, and a coward…Lenin appeared to be unpretentious and soft-spoken. His enormous willpower was hidden behind a facade of modesty. His personality was basically cold, yet he gave the impression of warmth.
We are about to enter a period of unprecedented sociopolitical problems.
