In the lives of the three men who had an overwhelming influence on the 20th century history there were stories that marked their consciousness and radicalized them.
Lenin was radicalized by the fact that his older brother was convicted and executed for an attempt that failed against the Tar Alexander the Second.
Lenin has said that it is not necessary to wait until people’s consciousness will change and they will become good, honest and fair, but the revolution must be started with the people that already exist because the opportunity that has arisen in domestically and internationally context should not be missed, that the communism will not be built from nothing, but everything the capitalism has built will be forfeit (the material base, science, and technology), which will continue to be developed and improved further.
As I have said before, in the life and the revolutionary activity of Lenin, there are many enigmas. Some of them are solved now but there are many still unsolved.
I will start a series on this topic because I want to present arguments against an uninspired and very aggressive propaganda against Bolshevism, Lenin and Stalin. In this propaganda are involved journalists, historians and politicians. This is the first part of a series of articles related to Lenin and Bolshevism.
