Why does the gullible Left still lionise Lenin as a benign intellectual and the acceptable face of Communism when he ruthlessly murdered his opponents in their thousands, starved two million Russians to death and wrote the playbook for Stalin?
Lenin was every bit as savage, evil and sadistic as Stalin and putler.
Lenin used to roar with laughter each day when informed by his minions that yet another bunch of “kulaks” had been strung up on their own trees on their own farms.
No doubt putler does the same each time he’s informed that yet more Ukrainian children have been murdered by his orc savages.
I don’t know if it’s only the left, you could be right, I think it’s anyone who feels that the world hasn’t given them enough even if they aren’t working for it. Kinda like what’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine. Gee that sounds like Putin.
“Why does the gullible Left still lionise Lenin”
Who, exactly? Very few in the UK (afaik not even George Galloway has praised effing Lenin in recent decades), even less in Germany and hardly anyone in the US. This looks like a strawman topic to me, of no real importance at all.
The far left everywhere still reveres Lenin as much as ever. Except the Trots, who never liked him anyway. Even centre-left parties still contain Marxist-Leninists. Most or all Green parties are Marxist-Leninist.
As for Galloway, he still absolutely adores the murderous bastard.
He even posted a teary pic of himself and his skank wife outside Lenin’s tomb as recently as 2019. Caption read:
“Overcome with emotion over Comrade Lenin.”
Marxist-Leninists can be easily spotted today. Along with the fascists, they all support putler and want Ukraine dead. They can be found in academia, trade unions and anywhere else where toxic agit-prop is tolerated.

Someone that writes left with a capital letter has no clue what leftists even think.
