In January 1917, Lenin thought the revolution would not happen in his lifetime. Conditions were very different then, but it's a good reminder that life is unpredictable.

Damn, so he at least saw young people be revolutionary. Most people younger than me that I meet are fascist or soc dems.
I wonder how pessimistic Lenin would have been if he knew about Vaush.
People like Vaush have always existed. Lenin had to live at the same time as Eduard Bernstein and Kautsky (to a lesser extent)
The Kautsky comparison always gets brought up but Kautsky actually read Marx and wasn't a pedophile.
You got me there
The kind Vladimir Ilyich would have funny clown hammered everyone here.
