Leninism (5/6/12 ff.)
It is said that Lenin adopted Marx’s economic theories and
ignored his other theories on political freedoms. He founded a cult of (German)
statism that still resonates to our day and opportunists spawned by his ideas
and willing followers have developed a renewed grip on public debate and gained
entry into parliaments.
Some interesting points about Lenin…
Lenin did not apparently favour abortion describing it as “a
pity” but calling for freedom of medical propaganda in a screed for a Russian
Marxist paper in 1913 in the context of the Stockholm Conference on
prostitution. However he wrote "It only takes a spoonful of tar to spoil a barrel of honey" as a fig-leaf to cover his own moral bankruptcy and refusal to honour natural law and as regards his wife's refusal to give him children,he averred towards the end of his life to "the dried-up virtue of a barren old maid". Satt!
Lenin characterised Lutheran religious in Germany as
child molesters in the early years of the 20th century.
These points are discovered by a thorough reading of his Collected
Works, now a collector’s item.
Malinowski was an agent provocateur within the Bolshevik movement who was outed in 1913 to 1914. Lenin sympathetically portrayed all the
endeavours of Malinowski in the Marxist revolutionary movement stating that he
“brought thousands to Social Democracy”.
In 1919 Lenin had Patriarch Alexei murdered after taking him
hostage in retaliation for the killing of rebels in Baku,Azerbaijan
by the encroaching Tsarist forces. Thereby he opened the door to
de-Christianisation.He ordered the murder of the Romanov family to prevent them
becoming a figure-head for
restorationists.
The Bolshevik revolution is falsely claimed to have cost
just two thousand lives. Modern estimates put the number of war dead, deportees
and civilians who were arbitrarily murdered at fifty five millions.
The most interesting document which I read which confronts
the prejudices of the Trotskyites of the Cliff-Gluckstein school is Can the
Bolsheviks Retain State Power? from 1918 to 1919. In this pamphlet Lenin said
that the revised plan of state capitalism was “a big improvement on what we
have now”, namely nationalised trusts in each industrial sector. In this
document he also declared that the dictatorship of the proletariat can be
manifested in the dictatorship of one man. He thereby opened the door to the
development of authoritarianism. This is ignored by contemporary extremists.
In he writings concerning the New Economic Policy, Lenin
stated that a non party engineer could be paid sixteen times the wages of a
skilled, competent worker in industry. Today the search for “specialists” in
the Big Bad West yields a differential of 2:1.
It should be noted that before the democratic claims of
Marxism were dispatched by Lenin that in the last free election before 1991 the
Bolsheviks gained only one quarter of the vote in elections to the Constituent
Assembly.
Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky-all ravenous wolfs disguised as
sheep!

Some notes on Lenin.
He excorcated the grisettes but cosied up to Alexandra
Kollontai “an ugly old boot” (Marx) who was in favour of abortion.
Lenin had many offhand quotes such as “What you must do, do
quickly”.This is,on the contrary, the
opposite of what one should do and indicates that he could not cope with the
police and criminal Panikmache in which he found himself. It led to his
precipitous nature and lack of judgement which was largely responsible for the economic
crisis of 1918 when the economy collapsed.
Lenin’s concessions policy ( New Economic Policy).Only 2 ½ %
on the yield on gold, diamonds and oil was returned to the government in return
for a paupers’ broth and some food for the workers in the presence of
agricultural hoarding.
It is ironic that a Marxist should write a pamphlet on The Importance
of Gold as Lenin did in 1918.
The tax-in-kind for which Lenin was solely answerable, when
revived in 1928, was responsible for the Ukrainian famine that cost twelve
million lives.
The November 1918 dissolution of the Constituent Assembly
brought a ragtag and bobtail assortment of malcontents to power.
Regarding Lenin’s canard about escamotage of 1913 how are
Marxists to reconcile the theft of the idea’s of the German Social Catholic
movement in the 19th century with intellectual Monism ( Lenin, 1914).

One word that features in Lenin's writings from 1899 onwards is "satraps" and the more mature he grew,the more often the term appeared.
The writer in 1915-1916 gave himself over to a study of imperialism.
What inspired this prose other than Marx's writings of the 1850's on India and now we have a regression to barbarism with,in our times,these satraps or placemen,spies, politicians and businessmen in the pay of the American government.
