Lenon 😭

Stfu, Donny. V. I. Lenin. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov.

Millenials are simply like that. As I millenial I can confirm this. My own generation can’t name 3 major battles fought on our soil during WW2. Or commanders, or anything more than that.

Not exactly. Older people who lived in USSR have either mixed opinion on him, negative or positive. Opinions vary when it comes to older generations too.

Older generation don't know about some crimes and scary things, that were commited during Lenin times. Also they were studied in Soviet schools. Soviet historiography is the same fantasy as Americian one. Most of people in Russia of 80-90s era don't care about politics. Modern generation don't cares about history and school. In my historicial opinion Lenin is genius of politics and politicial concurention. But during his times Russia lost 60% of all africulture and 90% of industry, lost a lot of territories, Poland, that also conquerred half of Ukraine and Belarus' , Baltics, Moldova, Finland. 10 million people died from hunger and war, all country was destroyed and was in ruins. He build socialist state.

@@arty5876 I'd like to ask what history book have you been reading? Lenin's government did not kill 10 million people, and it is only books made by the americans during the cold war that put ridiculous numbers like Stalin killing 60 million people (which is imposible because there was population growth during his time) - The truth is that the revolution was coming anyways and Lenin wasn't the only actor in it anyways, but was the one that knew how to get through the situation and deliver what he promised, Peace Land and Bread

@@Burrito69killer 6 millions people died from hunger, that was caused by destructive Civil War and Millitary Communism politics - soldiers and workers with weapons took the harvest from peasants. Enterprises were given to the worker control or nationalized. Workers lost their morivation to work, because there is no more capitalists, that could dismiss them for bad work. Also workers made their interprises irretable, because they simply made their salary bigger (Unteached workers didn't knew that total cost of money is equal to total cost of product, money don't have cost by their own, and there is no difference how many money you have, but difference is how many product). As a result less product, more money, inflation of economy, the prices are growing when there is less product with same number of money, but this cause the problems with organization of production - production of something also needs money to pay, as a result of which production become more expensive and fell, and there is cycle. That caused hunger economical decline. Most people in modern Russia blame the people, who destroyed Soviet Union, saying that in 90s there was unemlloyment ratio 25%, inflation of 300% per year and decline of everything. This people even sometimes hate the Soviet Union, but they still blame Eltsin. They don't know, that when Soviet Union was established, there was much higher and scary crisis, with same inlation in 4 years between 1922 and 1917 as a result of wonderful communist politics and Civil War. In 1922 there was the denomination of Rouble, the Rouble of 1921 was equal to 10 000 Roubles of 1918. Middle salary in 1913 was 80 Roubles, in 1921 - 300 000 Roubles. Also government controlled enterprises were unnefective due to the fact, that officials aren't motivated to lead the enterprise as capitalists, that gain profit from enterprise, and they interested in growth and profitability. 1.6 million soldiers died in Civil War from both sides, and 1.8 peasants were killed. 6 millions people immigrated from Russia, this were the scientists, ingeeners, and etc. . Russia lost a lot of territories with population. And we not talking about Brest-Litowsk peace threaty, when Germany occupied Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Baltics, and even landed in Helsinki. Thanks to the Antanta Germany lost the war, and Communists took Ukraine and Belarus. But Poland occupied some territories of Ukraine and Belarus.

How does an American socialist feel about Lenin? No need to dissemble and be afraid of censure from any of the parties, speak as it is. The next question is, have you read at least one work of Lenin and Marx?

​@@byzantium7638 it seems as though the other guy isn't going to answer your question so If your interested I can give an answer. As an American ML I atleast see lenin as a man who had done the impossible to a backwards futile country transforming it from a land that still had middle ages working conditions to a country where the common people actually felt like a human being instead of property to a lord or factory boss. He showed the world that even a country that was lagging behind the rest of the world ruled by a family who was completely out of touch with humanity could be transformed into a global super power that had the west shaking in their overpriced boots. He inspired workers all over the world to stand up for better working conditions and quality of life in general. Some places the revolutions worked others failed either from incompetent leadership or government Crack downs like in America. Revolution could've worked here if they had tried a few years before WW1 when the u.s. had a small army of around 127000 soldiers compared to 8 million in WW2. I have no idea where you are from but if you are american you are well aware of how lenin and the soviet union are demonized in the media and in teachings at school. Although if you are not ill give examples. We are taught that lenin was on par with the evil of hitler which is quite ridiculous for anyone with a functioning brain which is also hard to come across in american or atleast in the little slice of hell they call ohio. Also we are taught atleast I was taught that America made it to Berlin first and liberated auschwitz. A fundemental flaw with our education system is there is a standardized cariculum but is loosely followed and leaves more room for the teachers beliefs than actual fact. I believed the bullshit for a long time until I started doing my own research when I was about 16 or so into Marxist theory and the works of him and lenin I consider myself to have a good understanding of Marxist leninism but there is always more to learn I could go on for hours but I'll leave it here. If you have anymore questions I'd be happy to answer them to the best of my abilities.

His comment shows that good and evil, right and wrong, good or bad, most of times has to do with the position you have or the situation you are in. For example I Believe that it would be great to leave in medieval France if you were the king, but not if you were a farmer!

Lenin wanted to get the farmland by it coming from the farmers but stalin (like many things) went apeshit and just straight up cleansed them.

First thing the bolchevik did was give farmland to the presents who worked on it. The peasants made up the majority of the army and the population of pre industrial Russia as a whole. Unfortunetly, they got it rough, as did everyone, during the civil war. What really fucked them over was Stalin yoyoing between far left and right elements in the bolchevik party. After building up the wealth of the kulaks (despite being warned and discouraged by the left opposition, he then destroyed) , stalin soon realised they were right and in respons forced collectivation of all peasant property, one day to the other, entering a huge famine.

@@mitsos306ify There is book: "Behind the Urals: An American Worker in Russia's City of Steel" by John Scott.

What caught his attention was the fact that the French beggars was better looking and wore better clothes than the talented and hardworking specialist in his Soviet work place... So stop babling about French king and claiming that live of common man in Soviet Union was somewhat better because whole country was mostly producing weapons and tanks and typical worker was dreaming about bike when worker in USA was able to buy his own car after one or two years of hard work!!!

@@costbart During civil war that Lenin started 5 to 10 millions of Russians died... in whole war on all fronts and during all boombing "only" 5 millions of Germans died in WW2. Life of farmer in tsar Russia was bad but purges and nationalisation of private property was not an improvement. People did nothing to stop Lenin and his bolsheviks because WW1 was so bad and people wanted to see peace and some positive change and Lenin was telling to all his people to promise Russian people what ever they wanted to hear! All the books from Soviet Union claiming that he delivered what he promised... No he did not! But he was the new Tsar and he got Red Army and NKVD to deal with everyone that was unhapy with new Tsar(even name of LEnin was fake!). Read pre WW2 world bestseller: 'Lenin' by Antoni Ferdynand Ossendowski if you want to learn the truth about Lenin...

A great quote from Comrade Lenin in 1913: "People always have been the foolish victims of deception and self-deception in politics, and they always will be until they have learnt to seek out the interests of some class or other behind all moral, religious, political and social phrases, declarations and promises."

Fun historical fact: The monarchist faction was hardly "massive". Monarchism was mostly limited to the aristocratic commanders & public faces of the white movement. It was actually a huge liability, especially for countries like the UK and US, to be seen supporting a supposed monarchist restoration, especially after they had just been through a catastrophic war to defeat the kaiserreich. Arguably the execution of the Romanovs only helped the White movement by removing the monarchist albatross from their neck - allowing "democratic" powers to freely support anticommunist forces without having to worry about the PR nightmare that was Nicky II.

@@TessHKM "Massive" enough in the forces they controlled. Sure, numerically the faithful monarchists were not a large number, but it's not necessary to maintain a massive army that fights for that numerically small number. The faction was "massive" in regards to the forces it commanded, though I should have found a better way to put it, so I'll accept the correction that it was "hardly massive." That said, the Provisional Government was working towards reinstating the monarchy, and while some people say "but the royal family turned it down," the fact is that Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich, who Nicholas II abdicated his and his son's claims to the throne to, made the condition that he WOULD take the throne only if the Constituent Assembly legitimized it through law. The PR nightmare of Nicky II wouldn't have even been a thing, and the legitimacy of the constitutionally recognized monarchy would have been a boone to the White movement by the marriage of democracy and monarchy helping to bring the various factions of the White and other anti-Bolshevik movements together. I'll admit to not being a scholar on everything that happened in those times, what the motives were etc, so I'm sure there's a lot of stuff that I'm missing that gives more context and such to what was going on that we didn't really see. Things like correcting me on the size of the monarchist faction's actual proponents not being the same as their military power or political influence. So thanks for the correction.

What bad things did Stalin do, huh?

@@justasimplemathematicallye3917 what starvations are you talking about? And how Molotov Ribbentrop pact is a bad thing? This is literally a victory of soviet diplomacy which won some time for preparations for war.

@@LuchokPlay bitch the soviets provided nazis with equipment etc.

They do that on “Jay-walking” in American comedy bits, too, to show the dumbest and most embarrassing. It’s not a good sample and isn’t indicative of the country, especially compared to the Capitol.

Funniest part he does not know the difference, what an ignorance, lol

I legit died when he said that lmao like yep, your granny was a kulak. obviously the soviets didn't oppress the kulaks enough, that's how you get guys like him to this day.

Thats just misunderstanding

They owned their own BIG farm, that guys is pathetic 😂😂😂

Lenin did not want to kill the royal family, only their haters did it, read on the Internet about the red and white terror during the civil war in Russia, it is strange that they only mention the red terror, but they forgot about the white terror of the tsar's supporters and the intervention of the Americans, the British, Czechs, who killed communists and built prisons for them

To Comrades Kuraev, Bosh, Minkin and other Penza communists. Comrades! The uprising by the five kulak volosts must be mercilessly suppressed. The interest of the entire revolution demands this, for we are now facing everywhere the “final decisive battle” with the kulaks. We need to set an example. 1. You need to hang (hang without fail, so that the people see) no fewer than 100 of the notorious kulaks, the rich and the bloodsuckers. 2. Publish their names. 3. Take all their grain from them. 4. Appoint the hostages - in accordance with yesterday’s telegram. This needs to be done in such a way that the people for hundreds of versts around will see, tremble, know and shout: they are throttling and will throttle the bloodsucking kulaks. From Lenin's Hanging order, which can be read here: www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1918/aug/11c.htm Lenin didn't order the killing just like Nicholas didn't order Bloody Sunday, but it happened. www.history.com/news/romanov-family-murder-execution-reasons

Lenin didn’t really order to kill the, however do note that should they be kept alive, foreign imperialists could recognise the family as the rightful heir to the thrones or the ones in power and with the white army potentially reinstituting them and later on just kill every communist lmao, so whether or not Lenin ordered it, screw the romanovs anyways. In terms of the kulak case, the kulaks controlled at least half of the soviet good stock and violently resisted the collectivisation the Soviet Union introduced (of which peasants would be recognised as a working class and to be treated equally and not undermined by their leader), kulaks also did contributions to soviet famines like the holodomor, whereas the kulaks stole grain and wheat, contributing to even more deaths.

No you don't.

If that's the case, you'd be an exception to the rule I'm afraid. No insult to you personally. You may know more about him than the average person, but the average American knows very little about him now; especially among the post-Cold War generation. I actually talked to a guy around 30 today who didn't even know what the Soviet Union was.

@@achyuththouta6957 try me 😄

They only remember the worst leader (Stalin)

@@aigeneratedwauigi2696 i think what people say about Stalin is something we must really search about. It is too innocent to think that leaders such as Stalin Che Guevara Fidel Castro Mazo Zedong, as they fought against US empire, have not been blamed for things they havent done. If you stop and ask: can 1 single man really do this? You will conclude he can not.

Нормальная у нас молодежь, слава Богу не при совке живём

@@Russian_Ancap , как одно с другим связано? В СССР была плохая молодёжь? Активная, созидательная, сильная, волевая, стойкая, смелая и решительная. Трудовые отряды, освоение целины, защита родины, стройки городов и огромных предприятий, открытия и изобретения - это всё советские молодые энтузиасты. Каким трудом, какими достижениями на благо своего народа и государства могут похвастаться современные молодые люди? Что они умеют, а главное, что хотят делать не только для себя любимых, а для развития и процветания своей страны, кроме роликов в тикток и инстаграмных фоточек?

@@jpn369 сколько лет вам, если не секрет?

@@r3v773 Most of those people who know Lenin in other countries are from capitalist countries and they know him (I didn't say they like him) they know him through his books and writings and NOT through statements of their governments because in capitalist societies whether that society is in Europe or Africa or Asia , capitalist rulers do not like him at all

About what? Lenin? Their answer would be similar with other Russians
