Dear Ben,
Yup, lots of trouble. But if not for Mao, we would not ascribe the massive cost of human life to Lenin. Then again, had Lenin actually considered political genocide there never would have been a Stalin. But this is all moot. As I could not find ant evidence of BLM quoting Lenin or Stalin.
PS What you found on Stalin’s works is a library collection of speeches dictates and letters. Regular Major world leader stuff. For anyone who has studied Marx and Lenin there is (just about) nothing there. It is there for reference. [Stalin’s ‘works’ is about a dozen pamphlets of drivel. Each one reflects his delusions. From why anarchy fails but Marxism does not to the great successes of soviet agriculture to how WWII was started by the US to how Russia is about to enter the great age of communism. Anyone who ‘studies’ this propaganda is hopelessly out of touch.]
