I agree, Geoff. The allowance of the statue of mass-murderer Lenin to be erected in Fremont is another symptom of the deliberately dumbing down of Americans.

@pulpficfan1

Lenin called peasants "petty bourgeois" and starved millions of them after subjecting them to slavery. The gulags were Lenin's creation.  You Lenin apologists are a sick joke.

@geoff1424 He caused a famine? A Famine happened due to a 3 year civil war, and this famine was used as a political tool to motivate the rest of the Red movement. The "atrociousness" of Lenin is nothing when compared to the atrocities committed by Romanovs for hundreds of years, and was nothing when compared to the conditions facing many Russians of the time. The Red Revolution is betrayed by Stalin who commits the heinous acts that the Soviets are blamed for, and Lenin wanted Stalin dead.
