In the case of Lenin, there was also clearly a lust for power over others. And he did not use it very prettily.
Ha
Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov aka Lenin, who by the way was a masterful orator, like Adolf of German fame, was adept at implementing Marx's theories. Then papa Joe, Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili aka Joseph Stalin a former seminarian, then master implementer of Marxism/Leninism really spread the wealth, Lenin was most proud of him.
All in the name of giving to the have nots (the poor) the wealth of those who have (the rich), who did not have the proper altruistic motives.
The haves did not live to see the benefits of their distributed wealth. Neither did the poor. Since the wealth went mostly to the pockets of those who espoused the idea of wealth distribution, but were unwilling to earn it in the arena business or other wealth creating endeavor. They mostly spent their time sucking up the benefits of the newly created by Stalin "the Collectives".
These were the confiscated Farms, factories, shipping, land transport, utilities and on and on. The workers as usual were fed the collectivist propoganda, and forced to celebrate the collective. Under pain of "Malenky Robot" in Siberia until they died. Not much different than the current [-]popular[/-] adulation of dear leader of North Korea.
Hmm, is there a current parallel? Never mind...... that would shut this thread down really fast.
