DBWI: Dictator...Lenin?

Hey Comrades, here's a thought to chill your bones: What if Lenin had declared himself dictator of Russia? Now, obviously he's going to be overthrown fairly quickly, but what many people forget is that his political writings lead to m any of the institutions we see today. His book "On Socialism and Freedom" is one of the most widely read political works in existence, just behind Das Kapital. Without his influence, it is doubtful that the modern People's Democracies as we understand them would exist at all! What are the other effects of removing Lenin's influence?

And guys, please keep it civil. This is a politics WI, not an economics one.
 
Talkie toaster, I do not see how you expect us to keep that discussion civil, when you show disrespect to one of the greatest men in history, the true father of Democracy.

It was not in Lenin's character to be a dictator. It simply wasn't. Now please cease sowing the seeds of dissension, or I will call the secret service so that they might suppress your counter-revolutionary rants for good!:mad:

Oh, please, it's Alternate History!

Or was that sarcasm? Because The secret service would not exactly be interested in me exercising my right to free speech now would they?
 
Well, it's not because Lenin is the father of true Democracy that there is no secret service to tell you what is best for the people:eek:.

I do not know if you have seen the last Indiana Jones, which is the absolute and incontrovertible reference as far as Communism goes, but everyone knows that Communism would never have worked if the great Lenin had not hired scientists to implement mind control measures on a large scale. Where are your implants?

I am definitely bent on giving you over to the state police, unless you stop those disparaging remarks against our great leader, and submit yourself to the nearest authorities.

Democracy is what is best for the greatest number. In democracy, you do not have free speech, as in Fascist States such as the United States, but you have at least the right to work, and we have no unemployment. We also have equality and a classless society. That is true democracy. Now, stop speaking about free speech. Stop being a counter-revolutionary element: you brought shame on us all!:mad:

What you say is evil, evil, evil, evil! Arghh, I have such a headache, my implant is getting hot, I must go to sleep now! MUST GO TO SLEEP...MUST GO TO SLEEP...Beeep....
