Thursday marked the 151st birthday of the most successful revolutionary of all time, Vladimir Lenin. With only a tiny cabal of diehard followers, Lenin seized control of the world’s largest country and inaugurated a reign of darkness and terror that lasted seventy years.
There are many lessons to draw from the blood-soaked life of Lenin. But one of the most important is this takeaway for the terrifying “woke” moment America is living through right now. Things are not going to naturally get better. Things will not organically “calm down.” Until there is a fundamental reset of America’s treasonous leadership class, today’s unthinkable witch hunt is merely a prelude of an even darker globalist terror to come.
The Bolsheviks were indisputably more murderous than today’s left (if only because they lived in a more violent age), but even they had to ramp up how much terror they engaged in.
At the beginning of their rule, in fact, the Bolsheviks were even willing to run a fair election. Just days after the October Revolution, they held the preplanned elections for Russia’s Constituent Assembly, anticipating an easy win. To their surprise, they were easily defeated by the Socialist Revolutionaries. And so, like any good leftists, they simply nullified the election and dissolved the Constituent Assembly. Since it was 100 years ago and the Bolsheviks were well-armed, it was enough to simply announce that the Constituent Assembly was closed. Today, they might concoct a more elaborate narrative, perhaps that the Socialist Revolutionaries engaged in “collusion” with a foreign power.
In their earliest days, the Bolsheviks framed their political abuses as a “war on privilege.” In a tactic eerily reminiscent of 2020’s riots, the Bolsheviks of 1918 encouraged a decentralized campaign by the masses to plunder and crush class enemies.
In January 1918, at a meeting of party agitators on their way to the provinces, Lenin explained that the plunder of bourgeois property was to be encouraged as a form of social justice by revenge. It was a question of ‘looting the looters’. Under this slogan, which the Bolsheviks soon made their own, there was an orgy of robbery and violence in the next few months. Gorky described it as a mass pogrom. Armed gangs robbed the propertied — and then robbed each other. Swindlers, thieves and bandits grew rich, as law and order finally vanished.
They vanquished FAITH and SCIENCE and murdered the learned intelligentsia of both and replaced it with the Doctrine of STATE. Supported with an imposed History true or not and held the collectives hostage with local party liners not much unlike how our own political structure has become. Communism never realized fruition because Human and personal GREED makes it impossible. It has never really posed anymore threat to Cultural Reality than the failures it apposed and Democracy itself.
Americans NOT letting it happen here baby !!!! This is NOT Russia & NOT Gonna be !!!!!
WOKE will go Broke !!!!!
WOKE can drink Coke !!!!!
Please stop!!
Too much truth and history will absolutely fry the brains of the sheep and lemmings living on their knees and waiting for a POLITICIAN to them them how to live, what to think, and when it’s “safe” for them to be human.
Well, on second thought, if it fries the brains of liberal, purple and pink haired, nose ring wearing sissies, go ahead and PREACH IT, BABY!
Save us some rope.
