>[Lenin's collected writings] reveal in detail a man with iron will, self-enslaving self-discipline, scorn for opponents and obstacles, the cold determination of a zealot, the drive of a fanatic, and the ability to convince or browbeat weaker persons by his singleness of purpose, imposing intensity, impersonal approach, personal sacrifice, political astuteness, and complete conviction of the possession of the absolute truth.

>[Stalin] a man of great charm, convivial, entertaining, humorous, with an excellent singing voice, an enthusiastic movie buff, an intellectual who read 500 pages

>With never-flagging curiosity he [Trotsky] listened to the harrowing tales of wartime refugees, Belgian, French, and Serbian, and filled his notebooks with their stories. Back in Paris, he would read some twenty European newspapers a day at the Café Rotonde, where Martov could be found at almost any time of the day. From the Rotonde he rushed to a library to study serious military periodicals and literature, French, English, Italian, German, Austrian, and Swiss. In these journeys and studies he found relaxation and refreshment; and they also prepared him for a great job ahead.

Looks like someone has been reading three who made a revolution.

Well if you want that same passion I hear having your brother being executed for attempting to assassinate a Tzar or being kidnapped by a cobbler is the way to go.

>you will never be a part of the successful bolshevik revolution
>you will never experience the jubilation of having overthrown an ancient power structure, clearing the slate to built a world people used to only dream about
>you will never go from a ragged revolutionary-intellectual to a prestigious official in a full-fledged nation state of your own building that used to be run by aristocrats and bourgeois
>you will never see it slowly descend into stiffing orthodoxy and tragically pine for the days of idealism and possibility

Call state capitalism socialism and use an International and its member parties in various states to further your national-bourgeois economic interests. Be sure to tell everyone that your national monopoly is the hope of the world proletariat and denounce real Marxists as 'infantile' while working to crush spontaneous revolutionary movements that threaten your trade relations.

It wouldn't hurt if you threatened to shoot political dissenters for reminding you that you're just building capitalism like they said you would all along.

Glory to the Workers' Father Land and all that.
