What part of 'we love killing each other' do the rest of the human gobshites on planet Earth not understand?

[MrMedicinebox]

@johnnysbubbletop63 It is actually became called a lenin-cap after the great leader died.

[PostFiction]

After sending thousands of exhausted men needlessly to their deaths, its Lenin, not Kerensky, the old Tsarist officers or a careless bourgeois provisional government that is branded as exploitative, 'ruthless and single-minded'? A gross distortion of truths which should be plain for all to see. The February Revolution was a farce which retained all the barbary and injustices of the Tsar's own terrible reign. Lenin was anything but a sly conspirator, he was a true revolutionary and man of action.

I so want a Lenin Cap (lol!) with a Soviet Red Army emblem on it!!! if you find one Johnnysbubbletop63 you let me know please :)

[Viljarism]

@johnnysbubbletop63 I don't know if it has a specific name. To me, as a Norwegian, it looks very similar to the caps worn by my parents' generation for their university graduation ('studentmössa'). Which, in turn, was based on the typical cap of its time. I suppose the retronym today would simply be 'Lenin cap'. :-P

[johnnysbubbletop63]

What kind of cap does Lenin wear? I cannot--for the life of me--find the name for it at the risk of sounding like an addlepate. Commonplace & handsome.

@bartieboy93 yeah, I thought the same!

[toqtaqiya]

Lenin fought well against brutal Capitalism.
