No magic, but if you don’t study for the test you won’t know how to pass

Lenin didn’t know how to pass either. He created a massive imperialist state with an economic position different than that of the west. If you truly want to create a better world you cannot follow the blueprints of the past built off of oppression.

Not exactly. Lenin created the first communist state. It was imperialist only in the sense that imperialism is when you have a strong government and national identity

Both of you need to read “Imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism” to see why these comments sound so absurd

That’s not what I said. I said that if imperialism is those things, only then could the USSR be imperialist

You can’t just redefine imperialism to pretend you aren’t an imperialist. Lenin led Russia overthrew an actual communist region in Makhnovia, despite the fact that had previously allied with the Soviets. They even stopped the war, signed a peace treaty to fight a different war together, and then went back to killing them in mass.

Btw Landtrust was a MAGA communist who associates with the likes of Jackson Hinkle. He’s not worth your time

I never said I wasn’t imperialist. What I’m saying is that according to Lenin, imperialism is something specific. The actual communist region you were talking about is disputed and you’re not giving a clear picture of what happened

They had an active government set up and control of their land after the battle of Dibrivka. Aleksandr Shubin’s book on Makhnovia, “The Makhnovist Movement” even claims the red army was robbing peasants for personal gain as they invaded Makhnovia. But sure they totally weren’t imperialists.
