I know a lot of MLs who think that Stalin was bad. I think even an anarchist should recognize that Lenin made important theoretical advances, even if you disagree with him. (MLs should recognize that Kropotkin also made important theoretical advances.) I don't know why I'm complaining about somebody on reddit not understanding this it should be expected, but it is still frustrating to see people thinking that anybody who agrees with stuff Lenin said wants to put everybody in a gulag and electrocute their nuts.

This person has probably never read even a summary of a book by Lenin.
