So many ppl seem to legitimately believe that disobeying a police officer’s orders is a justifiable reason for them to kill you.

OK so this is @LumpyLouish and I just want to give you all an update.

@eshaLegal should be fully ready to go later this week and we will start streaming more and regularly.

In the meantime, Esha has been working hard to get the new website up so we can move from Substack and get you more content in one place.

We are also looking at becoming part of the TankTube community building up on Twitch. With this, we are going to reactivate the discord channel.

@lenin_tweets will be active as well and connected with the Lit With Lenin stream.

We are getting back at it after such a difficult year. Thank you for your continued support 🫶

On Lit With Lenin on @historic_ly we are now going to be keeping track of all Lenin's great insults :)

Letter To American Workers, 1918

Let the corrupt bourgeois press shout to the whole world about every mistake our revolution makes. We are not daunted by our mistakes. People have not become saints because the revolution has begun.

@uncle_authority I dont have empathy for the ruling class the Kim family was just stupid and deserved their fate.

[V. I. Lenin @lenin_tweets]

[...] greater and more heroic because they are simple and inconspicuous amidst the everyday life of a factory district or a remote village, performed by people who are not accustomed (and have no opportunity) to shout to the whole world about their successes.

[T]he conception of the economic struggle as the most widely applicable means of drawing the masses into the political movement, which our Economists preach, is so extremely harmful and reactionary in its practical significance. [1/6]

Despite high-profile organizing drives at Starbucks and elsewhere, new data shows that union membership is still shrinking as a percentage of the workforce. Unions will have to massively scale up new organizing to counter the brute might of capital.

upon what finds expression in such and such events, in such and such statistics, in such and such court sentences, etc., etc. These comprehensive political exposures are an essential and fundamental condition for training the masses in revolutionary activity. [6/6]

"The Defeat of One’s Own Government in the Imperialist War" (July 26, 1915)

https://t.co/fegNvtNmBQ

[V. I. Lenin @lenin_tweets]

During a reactionary war a revolutionary class cannot but desire the defeat of its government.

This is axiomatic, and disputed only by conscious partisans or helpless satellites of the social-chauvinists. [...] 1/3

[davide🚩🔻 @criticofpolecon]

The argument that communists should support Russia because it's fighting against NATO is a testament to the weakness of the movement as a whole. It's an anti-communist capitalist regime that is not fighting NATO for any reason other than it's own gain.

[V. I. Lenin @lenin_tweets]

[...] It means shifting the issue to the level of a war between governments (who, according to the content of this slogan, are to keep to their old stand, “retain their positions"), and not to the level of the struggle of the oppressed classes against their governments! 3/3
