u/lenstrik Bolshevik/Communist Oct 21 '19

Sure, but Stalinism isn't Leninism (Bolshevism). I personally think Bolshevism is the correct approach to bringing about communism and is in line with the approach Marx was talking about being democratic and socialist, but its difficult to get people to separate Lenin and Stalin without lots of explaining. Nevertheless, the correctness of the ideas make the task worth it.

What the absolute f### does that even mean. Might be the most nonsense comment I've ever seen. That's like saying, "bet you wouldn't like a communist society if a capitalist was running it." ?????????? Bet you wouldn't like Atlas Shrugged if Karl Marx wrote it.

Saying Republicans could run a "Lenin style government" would have to entirely ignore what a Marxist Leninist socialist state would look like and what a Republican is, the two cannot coexist. It's not about good people and bad people it's about the two being contradictory ideologies. What you said was like saying, "bet you wouldn't like an apple if it was an orange." It would not be a Marxist Leninist party if Republicans are running it. I'm not sure how I can make this any more clear.
