If somebody says he would be preferable to Trump or Hillary, I won't try to argue them out of it. It just isn't an easy progression into relevance today. | ||

Only that the progression from Lenin to a current US Presidential candidate is tortured path that isn’t very fruitlful in discussions of current politics. | ||

If we were in an upper division political science class or history class, and the audience was that of college students, then your sarcasm would have a point. In this case, it doesn't. The average attention span of the audience will not suffer answering such questions as "In what ways was Lenin and the Russian Revolution worse than failings of today's liberal democracies in the West?": Does Lenin have blood on his hands? Obviously. But so does every American President going back to Washington. Does he have a lot of blood on his hands? Yes. But then again, it is hard to even imagine the situation he and his comrades were in. Related, how much of the socialism of his day is related to socialism's general failings to answer this one: history cannot be wrapped up in a tidy sentence (fragment) like, "tragedy of the commons." people who suggest as much tend to be pretty bad at analyzing "current events" as well. Maybe it's an excellent summary at that stage of generalization, and maybe it's not. The determination between the two will be far longer than the average post. It'll be supported by conclusions from facts that are perhaps both in dispute. And you basically answered your own question IgnE proposition: Lenin was integral to the most important event of the 20th century, so why not discuss? IgnE answer: I know it's fruitless, but I'm reveling in taking this thread to topics beyond the latest bullshit from trump's mouth. | ||

You’re right that Insult play sounds like some sort of kink. No judgment of course. Just not something we do in the thread. | ||
