Influencer says the Charlie Kirk assassination is similar to the attempted Lenin assassination

The video in question, it got sent to me by a coworker saying that they found it interesting. I have no idea what to think of, but calling the Lenin a dictator can't be right.

This video is so brainrotted and does not stop so i had to break up after a couple minutes.
This woman is a classic libfash. She turns every fact on its head and gaslights the viewer without an ounce of truth.
She does very openly have no clue whar dictatorship of the proletariat mean. It means democracy and more democracy than we have now. The reason being that the proletariat is the majority of the people in every country. To be fair, in russia, it was the peasants who also were counted into this.
Who was not counted in were the liberals, capitalists and other former zarist collaborators. This person did have zero of her own ideas but was most likely a zarist or western collaborator.
The whole story does not hold one grain of truth. Here is the actual story of lenin: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Vladimir_Lenin
There are tons of books and cool articles here and in prolewiki which will show you how blatant the west fabricates and twists information to fit their liberal narrative. To see it in such strong conviction is frankly disturbing.
Great that you asked btw.
- There is some kernel of truth in there but it's framed in a very disingenous way to portray the bolsheviks as some sort of redfash and the poor utopian socialists as victims, there was a period of great terror in the early foundation of the USSR but the reasons for it are diametrically opposed to what is going on in the US right now.
  
  I have by now read a couple of books and articles about the topic and so far i have not seen credible evidence that suggests anything but level headedness and true struggle for the lives of everyone. People who were fascist, interventionist or tsarist collaborators were mostly put in prisons for short terms and usually just kept from going. So far nothing suggests to me that there has actually ever been a "red terror". Most of it is false flag stuff or local governments being stupid.
- I needed to ask to get clarification because I was like "what the fuck are you saying". The Deprogram did an episode recently with SovietPod I believe where they mentioned this exact thing of liberals/anti-communist spewing that the bolsheviks were undemocratic. Glad my hunch wasn't incorrect, thanks for the reply!
  
  I think i listened to it because thats how i found out about sovietpod. I'm actually glad to be able to answer such questions now. Took a lot of reading and listening but i'm pretty inoculated to libfash propaganda.
In a situation characterized by a permanent state of emergency, and a lack of clear ideas about the concrete shape of the new political and social order, communist parties in power and their leaders ended up establishing a relationship with the proletariat and popular masses that recalls the one established with the bourgeoisie by Louis Bonaparte. That is, paraphrasing Marx, ‘the dictatorship of the proletariat by the sabre’ turned into the ‘dictatorship of the sabre over civil society’ and over the proletariat itself. However, albeit slender and twisted, a thread continued to connect Louis Napoleon with the bourgeoisie behind the counter-revolution, just as a thread continues to connect communist leaders in power with the proletariat and popular masses who were the protagonists of the revolution. Bonapartism or Caesarism is one of the ways that the process of autonomiziation of ideological, political, and military castes occurs. Gramsci’s distinction between regressive Caesarism and progressive Caesarism remains valid; and it also remains the case that in different historical situations the progressive or regressive character of Cesarism proves more or less pronounced. - Domenico Losurdo in Class Struggle, Chapter After revolution, the ambiguities of class struggle
Yes, there was a period of great repression in the newly formed USSR but it was not out of Lenins whim, but to the extreme instability the nation was found itself in. There are some similarities but the bonapartism under the bolsheviks is for a completely different end goal than the bonapartism rising in the US, hence why one is progressive and the other reactionary, if the influencer wasn't disingenuous she would talk about more recent examples of bonapartism like in Peru where 50 people were killed by the coup junta that imprisoned the democratically elected Castillo. She brought the Lenin story to paint the bolsheviks as evil redfash authoritarians, oppressing the good utopian socialists etc...
