    we got an explanation when my class read it but for some reason the interpretation was basically lenin = good and stalin betrayed the revolution.

    i think our teacher was a trot

        pretty sure it is. blair was still nominally a "socialist" even if a total POS

        even in my most anti-communist youth there was always a seed of "what-if" lenin didn't die would the communist project have succeeded. i just thought it was a historical one-shot that never could be repeated

        fucking great man theory BS
