Thread: Lenin: Good or bad?

In your case, assuming that you are American, then you come from a country that hates everything that Lenin stood for. Consider that you might have been the victim of propaganda... Some of the things that you have heard about Lenin are false or exaggerated.

I'm just astonished at how some "chosen ones" can get personal on here and easily get away with it.

Molodets, don't pay too much attention to those leftists who hate the U.S. and at the same time would assume everyone speaking rather good English to be Americans.

As for the subject, I'd say he'd done a lot of terrible things, but from what I've read on that, I have an impression he realized WHAT he'd done and tried to set the things back to normal, but then he died, and his successors continued pursuing even harsher politics. It's the time after 1925 what the USSR is mostly hated for, things like mass murders, mass starvation enforcement, etc.

"Hate"? You are wrong again and why don't you let people decide for themselves whether or not to pay attention?

Sure, I just assumed she might not know that for sure, and didn't want to reveal anything about it to her. I assumed the things would be better this way, but I'm really sorry if it offended you in any way.

Btw, can you now get on the 2nd chat?
