Lenin's First Purge

Submitted by George Boros, Aug 22, 2007 10:16

Again and again and again, this book is another warning for those "Marxists-Leninists" and other excusers of that madness called Communism that this nightmare didn't start and ended with Stalin.

Also, I wish to call the attention of today's leftlib idealists, that the expression of "political correctness" was Lenin's "brainstorm" at the 1903 London Conference of the, then, Social Democratic parties. I fear that other brainstorms of Lenin will be followed by the today's "progressives" if once they get to power.

The writing is on the wall....
