Jeffrey's Reviews > Lenin and the Making of the Soviet State: A Brief History with Documents

This is where it all began and was kept afoot until Gorbachev came along with his do-nothing demotion (and eventual demolition) of East Germany's GDR culminating in the fall of the Berlin Wall. Lenin was the devil. Like Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini his focus was absolute power for one and one person only: the dictator. If you opposed this arbitrary thinking, you were jailed, tortured, or executed--or any combination thereof.

What's interesting is that even though communism and its socialist counterpart is on the outs, its effects still reverberate around the world still intimately touching half of those alive today. Touching today's people politically, if still under communist regime, but also philosophically and in memory if not.

Understanding what Lenin was about and what his idealism focused on is critical, for he is the founding father of the Soviet State. He was the father of lies, who promised great things for the proletariat until he had them in the grasp of his power, changing state policy on an arbitrary whim to meet his purpose and his purpose only.

If you don't believe in the devil, here he is alive and well and continuing to prosper in such countries as North Korea, Iraq, and Iran. Nothing is more important than eradicating this type of failed, selfish, evil thinking. Read and ponder what's to be done, for this demon seed needs to be crushed absolutely and completely. And it all begins with your understanding of all its inherent evils. Amen.
