what!!! Marxist-Leninists accurately predicted that counter-revolutionary forces both within and without the communist state would try to break apart the revolution!!! And you say they were forced to maintain their state, army, and form a secret police to counter western anti-communist forces!!! Perposturous, the state should have been withered away in 1917!!! Evil authoritarians don’t know anything!!! /s

They coulda just skipped the whole russian civil war and everything that followed if they’d just pressed the button. Evil leninists /s

We’ll fall for it every time too, because, maybe this time…
