Soviet Union under Lenin

How bad was Lenin's Russia, really? Majority of the horror stories you hear about the Soviet Union stem from Stalinist and later regimes. Meanwhile all the greats of Soviet art and literature seem to come from the time Lenin was still well and alive - Malevich, Mayakovsky, Brodsky, Pasternak all come from the 1920's.

When the February revolution broke out in Russia, Lenin found himself stranded in sleepy, neutral Switzerland. The only way home was through Germany, and so the exiled and agonisingly frustrated Bolshevik leader, acting through a slimy intermediary aptly named Helphand, negotiated the deal to get himself and his disciples shipped back to Russia.

Once on the train Lenin took control of the toilet paper and would only issue two leaves to those in need...

>How bad was Lenin's Russia, really?

Awful.

Go back to /r/FULLCOMMUNISM.

>Brodsky comes from the 1920's
>born 1940

Almost immediately after he seized power, right-wing elements in the new Russian Socialist Federal Republic revolted and the Lenin's country was brought into Civil War.

When the war finally ended in 1921, after almost four years of brutal violence, Lenin decided to keep a capitalistic economy for several more years to build capital within Russia.

Why?

Not even him but you're retarded

My bad, confused him with Esenin.

Great art like social realism?

I had Esenin in mind but that works too

anarcho capitalists have the NAP

lenin had the NEP

Do you consider mass murder to be a good thing?

>Yes, becau-

Kill yourself commie.

that came later under Stalin

Stalin was not an atypical Bolshevik with his ruthlessness and his devotion to a cult of violence.

He was simply the smartest, most paranoid and most ruthless of them.

>Do you consider mass murder to be a good thing?
oh fuck off you liberal shill
>m-muh rights
>muh freedoms
>i-i have a right to private property!!
nice spooks cunt

I hope this is bait

Wasn't Lenin's Russia the first state to offer sexual freedoms?

Maybe, are you implying that's a good thing?

>if I call it a spook I won the argument

>ЧК is monitoring this thread.

>mass murder
Kek since wend did lenin do mass murder

>t.relegiousfag detected

Bump

There wasn't mass murder under Lenin. People died, but that happens in war.

This is so fucking cool

El Lissinsky was a genius

Bump

This is not first peasant rising in Russia.

commie LARPers who bitch about Stalins deaths squads, yet worship Lenin are complete idiots that have no idea what they are talking about. As if the Cheka wasnt shooting people for simply not agreeing with Lenin enough

>There wasn't mass murder under Lenin

Lenin was also stupid on top of being a tyrant. At least Stalin was actually smart.

...

That's comparing several thousand wartime executions to over a million killings and deaths in the Gulag during peacetime

Stalin was just another level of brutal

Shit like this is why people like McCarthy or Pinochet did nothing wrong

>hey Veeky Forums was life under x that bad?
>REEEEEEEEEEE FUCK OFF YOUR TRIGGERING ME

>killing off half a million people in some autistic purge in is ok because you are in a war (that you started when you illegally started a coup against what the people of russia actually wanted)

>half a million

Nowhere close, what the fuck?

You have to go back...

Red Terror. Estimated half a million people were executed by Lenin during it

So is a random screencap of Reddit supposed to answer OP's question?

That's bullshit. Even Richard Pipes, one of the most virulently anti-communist right wing historian, says 140,000 is the upper limit.

The general consensus is between 10,000 and 40,000.

>tfw no one has actually answered OP properly

>Veeky Forums

It was actually 6 million AND THAT WAS JUST THE JEWS.
Side note: not a lot of people know this but Lenin literally shot every single one in person. People say he would give them a sick burn before he shot them too, like "1895 called, they want those glasses back" then BANG.
What a sick fuck.

Lenin's SU was at first was full on "war communism" with bread tickets and lines, then he introduced NEP (New Economic Policy) which tried to fix economy.

After he died, it was reversed and SU has started full plan economy with big scale and sweeping industrialisation, education and ecological projects.

Same in Weimar Germany. The great minds of the previous era were set lose. I don't think it is caused by Communism or democracy in the case of Weimar Germany.
