[No One Special]

People went to Red Square, where Lenin's Mausoleum is located, to mark the 144th birthday of the Russian communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin, who was born in Simbirsk on April 22, 1870.

Notice, not a single one of the commies is drinking water.
Vodka. That’s all they drink.

Geesh. Do they not have dry cleaners in Russia, yet? Every jacket in those pics looks to have been dug out from under a bed.

Russians are about the stupidest people on earth. They’ll 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 Lenin’s taste.

They’ve never actually lived under his rule. If you went on strike you were shot. If you owned land you were sent to Siberia. If you voiced dissent you were denied a ration card and starved. If a town protested their food being stolen the military was sent in to mop up.

One trip to Costco and they’ll be urinating on Lenin’s tomb.

I just posted the 2013 result of a like poll.

Bet you that you’ll see way more than that commemorating Tsar Nicholas than Lenin.

Paid demonstrators who have no clue what it is to live under his rule or either being psid enough to ignore it.

The Amerikan MSM has been cheerleading for Lenin over the
past many decades as have those in the academic world. Do
these misguided souls ever see themselves working with their
hands in the fields or factories? Of course not. Their self-vision
is that they will be the paid philosophers or in charge of distrib-
uting goods and services. And they will be the wealthy and
powerful in their utopia.

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

DO YOU KNOW WHY EARTH DAY IS APRIL 22?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Lenin only executed 30,000, dissidents.

He's a piker compared to Stalin and Mao and Adolf and...

“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

Lenin's Birthday. Same as Earthday.

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.

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.
