I'm pretty right-wing but I admire Lenin deeply, because he actually backed up his bullshit and changed the course of history. It's easy to be a bloodless academic, writing and tweeting about your cute little ideas and theories. It's a lot harder to actually wade into the course of events and try to change things.

Lenin tried, and he didn't just try. He succeeded. He's one of the Great Men of History, all the way up there with Caesar and Napoleon.
