The Attempted Assassination of Vladimir Lenin

On August 30, 1918, Fanya Kaplan, a member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, approached Lenin after he had spoken at a meeting and was on the way to his car. He had his foot on the running board. She called out to Lenin, who turned to answer. She immediately fired three shots hitting Lenin twice: one bullet, relatively harmless, lodged in the arm; the second round, more seriously entering at the juncture of Lenins jaw and neck, the third shot striking a woman who was talking with Lenin when the shooting began. Lenin fell to the ground, unconscious. He was taken to his apartment in the Kremlin, refusing to venture to a hospital since he believed that other assassins would be waiting there. Doctors were summoned but decided that it was too dangerous to remove the bullets. Lenins health declined from this point. It is believed by some that the incident contributed to his later strokes.

I laugh at all the Americans that say Russia was better off under the Tsar. They have no idea what kind of misery Russia was in before and during World War One. Fuck the Tsar from a half Russian.

Bullshit documentary, and the assassins were British agents.

@GlenRoSSe69 If you alter or deviate from the plan by a certain amount for object A its no longer object A, its some weird offshoot you created, you cant call it Object A because you deviated. If you actually read up on it, you'll see not Communism... State Capitalism. Very simple.

[lostxtsol]

@GlenRoSSe69 No actually those fit the philosophy and textbook on those movements perfectly, as I have been repeatedly trying to tell you. Read up on Communism, these are not true Communist countries. What you fail to understand, or maybe you just incapable of understanding, is that these systems are like engineering plans, the plan is specific.

@lostxtsol Your right, now that I think about it Nazi Germany was not real National Socialism either.... Nor was El Duce really fascist. .... nothing is real - only the idea of being real... REALLY LOLOLOLOL

[lostxtsol]

@GlenRoSSe69 holy crap guy your something else, read the book know the material, there is no way to understand or be in touch with what your talking about better. You can think whateevr, but its sad that you dont truly understand it, ESPECIALLY being from there. EXACTLY! maybe i DO need to go to a real communist nation, oh wait, none exist.

[lostxtsol]

@GlenRoSSe69 Are you being purposely obtuse? I dont consider that real communism, and you wouldnt either if you really knew what your were talking about. It's not a comparison of Friedman and Communists, really?, pay attention. Being a citizen of the same or similar nationality or region as a philosopher economic or otherwise does not immediately make you an expert on said philosophy. My world of ideas.

[GlenRoSSe69]

@lostxtsol it means a lot to her - your beloved commies killed 90% of her family ... why? They wanted to keep the food from there own crops!! Your example of Friedman vs commies is SO FUCKING DUMB!! Friedman did not kill MILLIONS to prove he was right - commies did. It and you mean nothing to us as what you think about in your world of ideas. my family and hers lived through it - your Communism - So you have shit to tell us - fuck off. maybe you need to go to a real commie nation and SEE!

[lostxtsol]

@GlenRoSSe69 Her being Ukrainan means nothing to me. So what? i already said i dont consider the communism in that region real. And her being Ukrainian no more makes her an expert on modern communist or marxist philosopy than my being American makes me an expert on Friedman or conservatism. But I'll cite. Again, you want me to think your serious cite something, otherwise please do yourself and her a favor. Read.

[GlenRoSSe69]

@lostxtsol modern communism???? - My Ukrainian Girl friend had a really good LOLOOOL at that one!!!

[lostxtsol]

@GlenRoSSe69 I can only assume your refferring to that idiot Watsons work on Marx, in which he claimed Marx said something that actually Engels said in an article. Otherwise then CITE if you have proof then. Lets see it. None of this has anything to do with modern communism anyway, since real communism has never even been tried and i can see by flipping through any TV that Capitalism is just a fucking dream that never put anyone into slavcery or tried to create genoc... oh.. wait..
