    If there's one thing I know for certain about Lenin, it is that he would have meekly tried to justify electoralism as the most effective way of rooting out a fascistic empire built on the backs of labor (with help from capital). Specifically, he would have told you to vote for the racist, only sort of rich septuagenarian heavily connected to capital over the other racist, very well to do septuagenarian connected to capital, and that doing so would be the only path towards eventual revolution.

    Do you think this is purposeful misrepresentation, or are these fools so blinded by their own surety that they honestly believe they're correct?

      For fuck's sake. How many times do we have to go over this. Lenin said to participate in elections to increase the profile of your WORKER'S PARTY and show the Proletariat by example that even when holding significant power in the existing state structure the WORKER'S PARTY will not be able to further the damned of the proletariat and so prove that confrontation and revolution is the only why for the communists to hold true power. DOES AMERICA HAVE A WORKER'S PARTY?

      Edit: without a worker's party Lenin would have told you to build one and spit in your face if you asked him who you should vote for.
