We should probably include the leaders inspired by Lenin as well, which leads to significant communities of Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Cuban, and other nationalities as well as the Russians.
Also the Eastern Europeans who escaped the Iron Curtain, or who still had families behind it.
The number of Americans whose families suffered because of Lenin and his followers is hard to count.
- tacomonstrous 9y agoMy thoughts: a) Lenin didn't fight wars to preserve his right to literally enslave people. b) This is still irrelevant to the issue of whether statues of Robert Lee should stand erected in public spaces.

Some have argued that communism enslaves everyone. > This is still irrelevant to the issue of whether statues of Robert Lee should stand erected in public spaces. Agreed, especially if the statue is privately owned, but I do wonder if groups like Antifa are calling for the owner of the Lenin statue to be fired.
