How did this guy get away with these lies? He promised all of the above and didn't deliver on any of it.
Hahaha the absolute madman.

How so?

He promised peace, he gave Russia peace. He signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and ended World War I earlier.
Collectivisation never happened under Lenin. He also increased food production and tried to compromise for the most part.
>>1421968
Food requisitioning did happen.
And food shortages as a result.
NEP was literally backpedalling to remedy this.

Lenin and Trotsky were pretty terrible people, but a lot of times they get portrayed as good because they weren't Stalin.
Congratulations everyone who ever lived except maybe Hitler, you're a good guy.
>Following the assassination attempt on Lenin, and the successful assassination of Petrograd chief of secret police Moisei Uritsky, Stalin, in a telegram to Lenin, argued that a policy of "open and systematic mass terror" be instigated against "those responsible". Lenin and the other Bolsheviks agreed, and instructed Felix Dzerzhinsky, whom Lenin had appointed to head the Cheka in 1917, to commence a "Red Terror", which was officially announced to the public on September 1, 1918, by the Bolshevik newspaper, Krasnaya Gazeta. Suspected enemies could expect brutal torture, flogging, maiming or execution. Some were shot, others drowned, buried alive, or hacked to death by swords.

He didn't lie, Lenin was a true believer
His system just didnt work out as he intended
>>1421931
>>Peace
Brest-Litovsk. Absolutely humiliating peace, but peace nevertheless.
>>Land
Land reform. Collectivization happened under Stalin, though some argue that Lenin also intended it as an eventual goal.
>>Bread
Yep, he initially failed hard in this regard. Later on, the situation improved with NEP.
>>1421968
>he gave Russia peace
Are you retarded? The Soviet Union fought multiple expansionist wars while Lenin was still alive.
>>1423080
Name some of these.
Polish-Soviet War doesn't count because both sides made preemptive strikes.
Because Russians are retarded.

This is essentially it.

Fuck off, commie shit.

Literally what is the point of this post?
He was Jewish, congratulations.

Russian love being terrorized, from my observation they're the single most masochistic nation on Earth. Their most autocratic and restrictive rulers in history were Stalin and Ivan Grozny and both are loved by Russians to this day.

Because it sounded like a better deal then what the Whites were offering;
“Hay guys, I know bazillions just died in a pointless war and everybody is starving and the country is fucked up, so…”
“How about we go right back to they ways things were before?!”
“Guys?… Hello, anybody?”
