New Noj rants on Lenin's Government. Key takeaways are as follows Lenin abandoned his ideals from State and Revolution, that being a state that eliminates the alienation caused by the difference between worker and politician that is prevalent in bourgeoisie democracy, due to the civil war. But kept the elimination of the distinction of different branches of government and that the idea that all political conflict arises from different class interests. The state was separated into two halves the Soviet Government and the Party with a matching set of hierarchy. With the goal of the party to guide the government, but as time went on the distinction between the too blurred. With the Politburo becoming the head of state due to its quick ability to create and pass laws as compared the slow bureaucratic soviet government. The party at all times dominated the government and prevented from any real change in policy from it. Finn ally the party was highly undemocratic as getting into the party required to be approved by other party members and any deviation in ideas could resulting in expulsion.New Noj rants on Lenin's Government.

I watched that video and that guy has a huge bibliography with a lot of sources and a way more rigorous approach than most 'tubers but a lot people probably won't like him because of his conclusions. He even learned Russian and goes through soviet archives by hand.
you wrote the same thing twice. did you copy paste your opening text from chatGPT?
>>2558370no I wrote it in open office and accidentally pasted it twice
>>2558375>no I wrote it in open office and accidentally pasted it twiceah, gotcha. i think an interesting part of your video that the opening text doesn't mention is the role played by Lenin's assassination attempt and strokes, since his participation in sovnarkom and little sovnarkom were crucial, as well as the growing power of the secretariat after his death.
>>2558366sucks that hes a trotskyite.
>>2558383I've watched all his videos and I don't get the impression that he's even a communist, let alone a Trotskyist. He seems to have a mostly specialist academic interest in early soviet history. Are you getting this impression from his discord or something I maybe haven't seen?
also expansion of beauracracy was always a concerned and topic of discussion. a lot the party theorists gave materialist explanations on why russia had needed so many beauraacrats
>>2558390oh. i thought he would be a communist based on the amount of extensive research he's done. i remember him making subtle shades at stalin and thought it was just his bias letting through with his tone of objectivity.
>>2558403the video proves there is something towards the ideas of the "Stalin school of falsifaction" not that trotsky was right about everything or good in any way. He made that clear in the video
>>2558390He's not a communist he's just autistic.
>>2558411yeah i rewatched that one and he says that towards the end, but you gotta admit that's one clickbaity thumbnail
