r/Anarchism - Anticommunist Vladimir Lenin was born today. Crimes include disempowering soviets and factory committees. Using red army/secret police to crush strikes, unions, communist movements. Oversaw/allowed the terror tactics of Trotsky. And ruined the Revolution by establishing a state capitalist regime.

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.

    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.
