I read that article, and it struck me how similar some of the tactics of the Democratic Party today are to Leninthink.
When Leninism is significant, there will always be a spectrum going from those who really understand, to those who just practice the appropriate responses, to those who are entirely innocent.
In reverse order: sheep, useful idiots, and democrats.
"The true Leninist doesn't even believe in Leninism."
Whatever it takes. Great article.
A profoundly evil man, as the article makes clear; someone (I forgot whom) once referred to Lenin as a "mega-criminal". True enough.
