🎈Today marks the 152nd anniversary of Vladimir Lenin’s birth.
Lenin and the Bolshevik Party helped lead the first successful socialist revolution.
The aftershocks of this revolution have inspired poor, working class, and oppressed people across the globe since.
The fact that the Revolution survived, that the Bolsheviks were able to seize and retain state power in such a large, vast country changed the nature of the class struggle during the rest of the 20th century.

All societies need surpluses—Marx says this is true throughout time. In socialist countries, however, the surplus produced isn’t transformed into profit, interest for the banks, rent for the landlord, etc. Surplus is distributed based on people’s needs.
