Lenin must be finally buried! - Gorbachev


So be it! In my humble opinion the socialism of the future doesn't need any Lenin. Regardless of Lenin's contributions to Marxist theory and history, I always thought it was an embrace of the Great Man Theory of History to erect these big heroic statues, when Marxian socialism is supposed to be about the working class taking the initiative for its own liberation.
Oh yeah, and another thing, I just realized this article was dated to 2008. So I guess its old news, as is Lenin.
