What a pointless contribution to the thread. Why are you socialists always so butthurt all the time?

Leninism is very largely based on Lenin's work as a theoretician.

Keep in mind that Vladimir was a man who, when 300 000 peasants starved in central Imperial Russia, argued for not trying to help the peasants but rather sabotage state trying to do so in order to increase revolutionary tendencies.

Anyways since Marx and Engels both declined the idea of socialist Russia, Russian commies had to draw inspiration from Kroptokin and play it rough.

I wonder.

Would Marx have categorized "New Left" (Leftists whose main drive is based on appeal to identity politics rather than socioeconomics) as a lumpen-proletariat or petty bourgeoisie -movement?

Lack of revolutionary spontaneity.
Dictatorship of the proletariat is an inherently flawed concept.

Was Marcus Aurelianus happy even when he was ideal?

Is The Tin Drum worth reading and if so, is there some preferred translation/edition?

It's quite a doorstopper, 740 pages or so.

Read Das Kapital so you can understand better the ideas. After that, pick Rothbard and others Austrian School authors like Carl Menger, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk and Mises and you'll see why Marx was so wrong.

Also, don't forget to read Bakunin.
