Unironically, we love our anarchist comrades and having criticisms of the Soviet Union is necessary if we are to learn from our shared history of struggle. But this thread filled with people who have neither read Lenin or seemingly anything beyond Reddit posts is too funny not to post here.

(Am I falling for a bit? I honestly can't tell)

    But the Tsar was already overthrown months prior to him couping the government formed after the February Revolution

    :agony-deep:

    Lenin by himself stormed into the winter palace and overthrew the coalition government. It definitely wasn't the entirety of the Bolshevik (majority) party and the military that did it and chose him to lead because he said words good.

    Lenin will be remembered by billions as a hero to the working class for years to come and no salty radlib that claims to be an anarchist will ever change that.

      I looked at the comments, I don't think it's a joke unfortunately.
