"Lenin walks around the world. Frontiers cannot bar him. Neither barracks nor barricades impede. Nor does barbed wire scar him. Lenin walks around the world. Black, brown, and white receive him. Language is no barrier. The strangest tongues believe him. Lenin walks around the world. The sun sets like a scar. Between the darkness and the dawn There rises a red star." — Langston Hughes

Should have lived longer. Would love for him to have orchestrated a full European Communist revolution. Sans Stalin, cuz fuck him.
I said to them: you are the power, do all you want to do, take all you want, we shall support you, but take care of production, see that production is useful. Take up useful work, you will make mistakes, but you will learn. (Lenin, V 1918c ‘Report on the Activities of the Council of People’s Commissars’ in Collected Works, vol. 26)
close second to marx in my mind. he was right about just about everything and made all the right moves that he couldve made. unfortunately the historical conditions of russia and the failure of the german revolution ultimately doomed the soviet union longterm, but you cant deny his will to win and his dedication to the international proletariat. he is the best of us, no one like him before or since.
