Distorters of revolutionary Marxism (of all kinds) will hate me for saying this. If you’re easily offended, keep scrolling, but someone has to say it.

You’re probably reading Lenin completely wrong.

This is what it looks like when a principled revolutionary Marxist reads the works of Lenin. Notice the blushing at Lenin’s clever humor and the way he pokes fun at his opponents. Notice the legs crossed, gently kicking back and forth in enjoyment at our great Vladimir Ilych’s proper application of materialist dialectics.

"Nowhere is the power of capital, the power of a handful of billionaires over the whole of society, so crude and as openly corrupt as in America. Once capital exists, it dominates the whole of society, & no...form of franchise (voting) can alter the essence of the matter.”

— V.I. Lenin (1919)

It's leny

[shaythempronouns]

i can't emphasize enough to people feeling hopeless and despondent about the world today that you should read lenin.

this isn't a bit. it's not even necessarily a matter of you becoming leninist (though I think that would be neat!). in a time that feels hopeless and a place where the future seems non-existent, it is genuinely comforting to read someone who has detailed in depth, literally, what is to be done.

for all the stereotypes about commies wanting you to Read Theory, I think there is a genuine case to be made for doing it not just out of a desire for education, but because you need a reminder that a better world is possible, one that you can feel hopeful about, and there is a path there that we can help to walk together.
