" . . . In any case, and in whatever conceivable circumstances, we are doomed if the German revolution does not break out. Nevertheless, that does not in the slightest degree weaken our duty to know how to endure the most difficult situation without blustering. https://www.marxists.org/history/ussr/government/foreign-relations/1917-1918/1918/March/7.htm"; "The bourgeoisie (all over the world) is still very much stronger than we are. To place in its hands yet another weapon like freedom of political organisation (= freedom of the press, for the press is the core and foundation of political organisation) means facilitating the enemy’s task, means helping the class enemy." https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1921/aug/05.htm I think Lenin had it right the first time. Ultimately, the USSR was doomed. The working class that made the revolution watched it be undone decades later.
