            His regime had slaves (or at least essentially a slave class of farmers), enabled/encouraged torture of thousands, held mass executions, suppressed religious practices with murder, had concentration camps, violently suppressed any political opposition and killed tens of thousands without trial.

                  Are you genuinely illiterate or just coping poorly with how hard it is to find anything resembling proof for your bullshit?

                    Well I’ve read Richard Pipe’s books “the Russian Revolution” “Russia Under the Bolshevik Regime” and " The Unknown Lenin" as well as Lenin’s biography by Robert Service. What I claimed is all discussed in those books. I can recommend more too if you like. I still have hard covers of “The Russian Revolution” and “The Unknown Lenin” do you need me to include quotes? I’d be willing to bet I’m significantly more educated and well read on this particular subject.
