anarchists like to complain about how Lenin killed hundreds of prostitutes this is the unfortunate cost of war incidents get hurt and killed. i was wondering if anyone had any arguments for why this had to be or why it happened was it worth it.

    You assume Lenin “killed” those people based on a single letter? That’s uncritical of you to assume that. And you created your account less than 20 minutes ago to spill the same bullshit infantile leftists spills at us to portray Marxists-Leninists as bad? Quite suspicious, I’d say, considering this is a very specific question, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

    I’m not sure whether “prostitutes” should be taken literally, it seems Lenin had a little habit of using the word as an insult towards his political opponents. Also, the phrase “political prostitute” is widely known in Russian language, means “opportunist” and is often misattributed to Lenin himself.

        If you study the events of that time, and read some of the stuff the man has written, you’ll see it’s completely out of character to promote the killing of sex workers.
