This morning @theceoofanarchism linked to an excellent essay on the Anarchist Library by Ziq. I hadn't heard of them before and wanted to read more so I used the library's book creation tool to make an epub of all the essays the library has by them, which I thought I'd share if anyone else can use it

Tankies and the Left-Unity Scam.
“Lenin was an oppressor of the peasants and working classes, a despot, and, by 1918, the victorious enemy of the Russian revolution. A true counter-revolutionary. Which isn't too surprising, considering his bourgeois background and trade as a lawyer. He perfectly met the Marxist definition of a reactionary, yet tankies hold him up as the father of their "Marxist-Leninist" ideology and praise him as a great communist.
Lenin's acts later inspired further dictators in the 20th century who also misused the word "communism" to describe their brutal state-capitalist regimes. He effectively destroyed any chance humanity had to achieve communism in that century, and the damage he did to revolutionary action is still being felt today as the word "communism" has become synonymous with "totalitarian state" in the public consciousness..”
