Quote:While the revolution in Germany is still slow in “coming forth”, our task is to study the state capitalism of the Germans, to spare no effort in copying it and not shrink from adopting dictatorial methods to hasten the copying of Western culture by barbarian Russia, without hesitating to use barbarous methods in fighting barbarism.

But that is because Lenin was a barbarian.  He was no Marxist.  I thought you acknowledged that Marxism has never been tried?

The problem is attracting people to the Marxist cause who are not barbarians.  You have to convince civilized people that violence, the last resort, has been reached.  This would be after it has been demonstrated that only a barbarian is going to win a revolution.  Civilized people are more likely to use the tools of the Enlightenment, Gandhi or King.
