I think they confirmed Lenin bought one Rolls-Royce? There was an embargo in effect, and no Industrialized nation would sell to the Communist. Britian caved, and let Rolls-Royce sell Lenin air plane engines. They Sweetened the deal by selling him a Rolls at a 15% discount. Maybe he had more? It was a horrid time. I have found conflicting information on Lenin. I don't think there were too many historians(especially American) who weren't writting a narrative condemning anything remotely related to communism? I know communism has not worked, but sometime's I wonder, "Do I need three automobiles, or more water/food than my family needs?" Do I have a right to more inorganic and organometallic compounds, or carbon atoms just because our current system says I can--if I obtained them legally? I just don't know. Would I be a willing participant in order to find out--no. What I'm trying to say is I just don't feel the ideas of communism are evil. I still can't even talk about it because of the McCarthy era.(No, I'm not that old. The fear of anything different than Capitalism was just drilled into me as a kid.)
