This is the only correct answer.

Lenin was a power hungry tyrant that over threw a left-wing government to install himself as an autocrat.

Zionists.

That toaster is remarkably consistent.

A shame, you seemed an honest ma~~n.

That’s the most stereotypically tankie accusation I’ve ever read! 😂

They blocked me for defending “Marxism” (MLism isn’t actually Marxism) they must be a liberal! (Libertarian Socialism isn’t liberalism)

Or maybe they’re just lying. Tankies do that literally all the time.

I don’t belive you; I think you’re a liar, because you didn’t ask a neutral question; you gave notoriously terrible options.

Wow, you think those are the only options?

Tankie Detected.

He was imprisoned for what he wrote about. His actions tell me that he was not a socialist, and that’s what matters. He held an election, immediately enacted violence to change the outcome, immediately dismantled the socialist power structures that were in place, purged people who didn’t agree with him, and acted as an autocrat.

Anyone who thinks Lenin was a socialist is ignorant of history.

Edit: I can’t actually see who replied to me because I blocked them 😂 tells me what I need to know about the people arguing with me.

Tankie Detected.

Lenin wasn’t a socialist. He was a transparently dishonest fraud who built a cult of personality. The best thing you can say is that he failed because if the results were a success, Lenin was a monster.

I don’t trust the state to do that without using it to exert power. If we had a co-op based decision-making structure, that’d retain power in the hands of the workers and give us the benefits of a planned economy.

Alright, fair enough.

SPD has been a liberal center-left

That’s a contradiction in terms: Liberalism is a right-wing philosophy; it can’t be center-left. JFC you idiots are all the same. Sometimes I wonder if y’all’re capable of having 2 consistent thoughts. Go on, tell me about how anyone who isn’t an ML is a liberal (including Anarchists) and every Liberal is a fascist.

That’s a lie; Paul Von Hindenburg was an a outspoken Monarchist.

These are my thoughts exactly; piracy is preservation.
