    Are there any actually valid criticisms of Lenin other than dying young? Sure he was a gym bro, let he who hasn’t mired cast the first stone

      There's the Kronstadt but IIRC Lenin himself admitted he fucked that up.

        based on my understanding they posed an actual threat? like weren't they trying to seced with an important port? like the westoids sent an expeditionary force less than 15 years ago at that point

          That's the thing with these things, you get into a political discussion and things get very gray and hypothetical. It can be pretty interesting if people want to get a deep understanding and dive deep in the discussion, but uncritical support for the USSR's actions or demonizing the USSR's actions usually terminates the discussion long before anything of value is extracted from it.
