No clue, except that it is.
Attempting to tar social justice movements as Leninist is sheer speculation. And maybe Leninist, so to speak.
But damn, just ignore that part. It's always good to be reminded of just how insanely ruthless Lenin was. Also, recall that the Germans paid Lenin to destabilize Russia, and keep it out of WWI. So maybe the whole thing was basically a put-on.

- AnimalMuppet 7y agoI have not heard of them doing so (though I admit that I have not followed them very closely). For those of us who haven't seen this, can you supply some reference(s)? But if they're going to call the alt-right Nazis (with justification, at least for some of them), and they're going to fly the hammer and sickle... well, I guess they earn being called communist, Stalinist, and Leninist.
