Ya know something I find funny.
A lot of anti-war people who renounce violence and preach peace and love etc...love people like Che and Lenin. Yet when you tell them that these people engaged in the same kind of sadistic violence they protest against, it's as if it does matter at all.
Either way, Lenin brought communism into the mainstream world. Had he not, then a lot of countries wouldn't have had to experience the failures of it. Also, he is to blame for Josef Stalin...had he not taken control of the country via his party, then Stalin wouldn't have had a chance to grab control after Lenin's death. So in a round about way, Lenin is equally responsible for the deaths of millions as is Stalin.
Putin on the other hand is just a sh**tty economist.
Lenin hated Stalin. He knew Stalin would create a huge bureaucracy and just exploit Marxism for power. Lenin wrote a letter to the politburo in 1924 shortly before his death to urge that Stalin be removed from any position of power, but when Lenin died, Stalin censored all of Lenin's later writings.
He never said that wasn't true, he's just saying that if he never came into power Stalin wouldn't have either.
