    yes Lenin and Mao were only interested in power for themselves personally which is why they became courtiers for their respective royal families in the feudal societies they lived in and then enjoyed lives of luxury by sucking up to various feudal landowners, oh wait no none of that happened

    so how exactly does one do a power grab over the course of like 30 years talking/writing and organizing socialism, finally achieving victory, and then doing everything they said they’d do? because Lenin and Mao at certain points were down to like 20 guys. Both of them got exiled at various points and could have given up and just lived their lives peacefully out in Austria or Hunan or wherever Mao got exiled. If you wanted power in the year 1905, you didn’t become a socialist revolutionary in a feudal monarchy. That’s how you got imprisoned and then shot. You wouldn’t even become a socialist revolutionary shortly after victory because that’s how you became international assassination target number 1.

    these liberals do the same thing as conservatives, they accuse communists of simply lying and having no true beliefs. It’s projection. They think everyone is as cynical as them.
