Well, now that you mention it, the name of Lenin's party was the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party in which he was the leader of the so-called menshevik faction. Never too late to brush up on your history a little.

Wait, what? Weren't the Mensheviks the non-Leninist wing of the party? Leninists were Bolsheviks.

My mistake. Sorry about that. Lenin was the leader of the Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party.

Which has Labor in its name. So anybody who proposes that people work for a living had better be aware of the dangerous slippery slope inherent in such policies.

Uh - the Mensheviks were the opposition to Lenin's Bolsheviks (in Russian the words just literally mean "minority" and "majority" - Lenin was obviously the majority). What kind of history were you brushing up on?

Maybe you should read the thread, or at least the last few posts, before you chime in. As a matter or fact Lenin's faction - despite the name - was the minority among Russia's Social Democrats.

You should definitely keep telling us all what you know about history.

No, they weren't. At various times there were more members of the Menshevik faction, but the Bolshevik faction was always the ruling majority from the 2nd Congress in 1903 on (they controlled the party press while in exile and then obviously later on once in power they were in complete control).

The phrase "majority" and "minority" don't refer to the raw number of members at any time - they refer to the role in the party leadership. Currently the Republican party is the majority party in the US Congress, even though there are more people who identify as Democrats in the United States, for example.
 
And FWIW - Lenin preferred the terms "hards" and "softs" to refer to the two groups. His group was the hards, obviously.



And no, he never led the Mensheviks. Never. Not like even for a minute when he was bored one day.

An employee of Atlanta-based Polaris Marketing Group (PMG) was fired after he posted a photo of himself with a coworker’s black child that went viral.
AtlantaBlackStar.com reported that on Sep. 16, blond, hazel-eyed Gerod Roth — known on Facebook as Geris Hilton — posted a photo of himself looking askance at a school-aged black boy over his shoulder.
The racist comments came pouring in almost immediately.
“I didn’t know you were a slave owner,” wrote a commenter named Emily Irene Red.
“I’ll feed you, but first let me take a selfie,” wrote another.
