    Lenin is a good author. I enjoy reading about communism, I have read Kropotkin and plan to read Lenin, etc. That being said communism sucks, unless you can find a way to distribute power, I suggest BTC, otherwise you will have another Holodomor/Great Leap Forward. Russian USSR quite literally sucked the life out of Ukrainian USSR like some sort of spirit sucker. RIP to all victims of Holodomor and Great Leap Forward 🕯️

      Kropotkin has as much to do with communism as Kirk Cameron does with evolutionary theory. Also Russia was too economically backward to sustain a socialist revolution without the sucess of the revolutions in Europe. Lenin says this in his speeches and writings. They never moved past state-capitalism, but tankies don’t read, and so you have tankies everywhere upholding the state-capitalist USSR as a holy model for “socialism”. Chinese revolution was completely bourgeoisie.
