I wonder how pessimistic Lenin would have been if he knew about Vaush.

The kind Vladimir Ilyich would have funny clown hammered everyone here.

People like Vaush have always existed. Lenin had to live at the same time as Eduard Bernstein and Kautsky (to a lesser extent)

The Kautsky comparison always gets brought up but Kautsky actually read Marx and wasn't a pedophile.

yeh even the losers that the old marxists clowned on were more well read than most "left wingers" today

He would have given him the Kautsky treatment and dedicate a chapter long dunk in state and revolution to him
