    Lenin betrayed the revolution. You mention the banning of the political parties. While it’s true that they “took up arms against Sovnarkom”, you’re leaving out the part where Lenin used Sovnarkom to coup the newly elected government because his party didn’t win.

    Again, Lenin was flat out wrong. But I don’t think he ever actually cared about Russia ever reaching the true Marxist communist utopia. Lenin cared about power first and foremost.

    He built up that dictatorship, and then handed it over to a monster.

    Tried a bunch, but tried wrong.

    The Lenin model of communism is inherently flawed for one simple reason. An Authoritarian Communism is an Impossibility. It cannot exist by pure definition.

    The true ideal communism is a stateless utopia.

    So yeah, the Lenin model is flawed to the point of uselessness. Or worse because any authoritarian government is going to kill its own citizens, while also being a low grade threat to neighboring countries.

    No. The only path to true communism is via democracy. And there are countries that are moving in that direction.

    What’s worse is the links to white supremacy in all this shit.

    The origin of many of these ancient alien slash ancient apocalypse “theories” are 1900s Germany.

    People who were looking for a “scientific” reason why Germans were the superior race.

    The core thrust of every “ancient” whatever theory is that ancient people were idiots and had to be shown how to pile rocks into a pyramid shape or shit.

    The imaginary people who “showed” ancient brown people how to do shit are always depicted as white.









  • Ukraine was a massive fuck up for Putin. He believes in the bullshit known as color revolution.

    So he thought he’d pull one in Ukraine. A few years of some soldiers fucking around in the East, then he’d walk in and be welcomed.

    Which is fucking stupid.

    But Putin has long since killed anyone who would tell him that an idea is stupid, or that people don’t work the way a paranoid, backstabbing KGB trained psychopath thinks they do.

    No, Putin fucked up hard due to the dictator trap.

    Now he’s scrambling. He’s been killing off rivals and opponents at a breakneck pace the last few years, all because his position has never been weaker.

    And he barely managed to diffuse a coup attempt.

    He had to use treachery to do it, so the next time, the coup leader will not back down.

    No, Putin is desperate to pull out some sort of win in Ukraine, because anything else is the end of his rule, and likely his life.



  • Now I’m thinking about a pair of elves is the worst sort of codependent relationship, but one light year apart.

    They use sign language to constantly argue and make up with each other, but because of the one light year delay, they’re maybe never quite at the same place in the argument/reconciliation cycle, both of them arguing with their counterpart one year prior.
