This is why they should have chucked his corpse out in 1991 and turned the mausoleum into a public restroom.

“And they will be the wealthy and powerful in their utopia.”
Until they aren’t.
They haven’t figured out what the term “usefull idiots” means. And what happens to them.

Lenin only executed 30,000, dissidents.
He's a piker compared to Stalin and Mao and Adolf and...

And of course we know they feel completely free to speak out, what with journalists being murdered and all.

There would have been no Stalin, Mao or Adolf without Lenin because he put down their “intellectual foundation”.

We will turn our hearts into steel, which we will temper in the fire of suffering and the blood of fighters for freedom. We will make our hearts cruel, hard, and immovable, so that no mercy will enter them, and so that they will not quiver at the sight of a sea of enemy blood. We will let loose the floodgates of that sea. Without mercy, without sparing, we will kill our enemies in scores of hundreds. Let them be thousands; let them drown themselves in their own blood. For the blood of Lenin and Uritsky, Zinovief and Volodarski, let there be floods of the blood of the bourgeois - more blood, as much as possible.
-Felix Dzerzhinsky

With the post-Cold War Russia, we are seeing a replay of post WW-I Germany in the aftermath of the Treaty of Versailles. Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles emasculated Germany, and this was used by Hitler to build a fervor among the people that Germany had been wronged by the rest of the world,
Likewise, Putin is trying to rebuild the Russian Empire, which most remember as its USSR incarnation, using Soviet-Era imagery and propaganda.

Vodka. Thats all they drink. It's a foreign substance used to replace precious bodily fluids. That's what makes em' commies. They are trying to do the same thing in America with fluoride.

The irony in that first picture. That big, fat full belly? Probably only possible with the fall of soviet communism.
I guess "fall" is incorrect. The moving it to the United States of soviet communism.

One trip to Costco and theyll be urinating on Lenins tomb. Nah, they'd be scooping everything up and still deriding the evils of capitalism.

Russians are about the stupidest people on earth. Theyll get what they deserve again at some point in the future. Lenin despised them (unless they were proletariate) and they loved all the brutality which was intiated by that monster. Even Stalin was too moderate for Lenins taste.They certainly are. None seem to have any idea of the monstrous personality of this man, who despised ALL humanity (including the proletriate) and was concerned only with "the will to power." Paul Johnson, in his "Modern Times: The World from the Twenties to the Eighties," outlines and analyzes exactly what Lenin was. The Russians seem to have never learned about him and one suspects, they never will.
