    Was Lenin the major leader of the red terror or not? Was he responsible for Cheka or not? What kind of bullshit you trying to sell?

      Your black and white false equivocation completely divorced from historical context is the bullshit. At what point have you demonstrated even an elementary knowledge of the circumstances? You can’t just throw out words like Cheka and Black Army as a substitute for historical understanding. Make an actual point based in historic facts. I’m not here to entertain your ignorance, I’m here to provide nuance and context to the bourgeois myths you are determined to repeat. Unlike many communists I am actually critical of the Bolsheviks; but that doesn’t make me a willing stooge for disinformation. I’ve studied, I’ve discussed, I’ve made up my own mind about these things. I’m not wrong for asking a bit more from you than blind disdain, in fact I wish you would ask more from yourself.
