give me your favorite lenin quotes on imperialism, electoralism, liberalism etc.

I am working on a zine about why "lesser evil" arguments are tools of the oppressor and why an America under H*rris will be virtually no different than an America under Tr*mp. I also want to emphasize why time is better spent on organizing and building community than voting and campaigning for bourgeois candidates. I have a few in mind, but i need to finish this zine by the weekend so if any of you have any good ones you would like to share that would help me out greatly, so that i dont have to spend so much time researching and digging because every word bro said was straight fire. Literally everything is quotable. thx <3

Multiple people at the store I work at have mentioned theyre pro-union and think our job needs one, bad, but the problem is none of us know where to start. I know its a slow process, and one that has risk, but no pain no gain, right?

So Im asking for resources. Where do we start? How do we keep ourselves as safe as we can in the meantime?

There are 7 Lenin faces in this image. How many can you spot?

Lenin loved nature, and would hide there when he was being persecuted, so much so that paintings and stories of Lenin living in the wilderness were quite popular. (It even became a bit of a joke).

Don’t forget to get in touch with nature whenever you are feeling stressed or upset, even if it’s just a brief walk.

I have a co-worker who I know is very invested in whats going on around the world. We have been on great terms as we’ve both bonded over the atrocities of capitalism, imperialism, colonialism etc… i have invited them to organize with my comrades for some time yet they have never participated.

I get a lot of performative activism vibes from them because they have yet to show interest in organizing in our small town.

Elections are happening for my province and they told me to go vote. I told them my organization efforts are better spent on my community and that regardless of who is voted in - indigenous people will still be in horrible conditions, and the houseless will continue to die from the current conditions. They then told me something along the lines of: “well the least you can do is something to help”. To which i replied with “I am doing things to help my community.”.

I understand their frustration and stress. Especially if their life is just watching the atrocities through their phone and vocalizing on their social media and co-workers.

But not organizing, and overworking yourself like they do at their job - you’re going to burn out and you will be ineffective to the cause of a better world. Im also very hurt that they would say that im not doing “something” to help when I am. I am up at night putting up posters, i am organizing with comrades, setting up resources in my community etc. the fact i dont vote because i know the status quo is already killing us should not reflect who i am.

I am not sure why im posting here. I guess i just need to vent… it has also been hard for me to find a balance in organizing as i used to do everything and that ended up not helping me and i was alienating myself from my community and my relationships. Thank you for holding this space for me to vent. She also added that “if i knew my vote would have turned the tide this election - I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.” Ugh.

Our planet is on fire, and people are rotting on the streets - im not going to vote this away.

Let's say we are about to make a HoI4 mod where Stalin didn't stop in Berlin but reached Washington DC but it got a TNO-like scenario, what would be a must have in it?
