The video in question, it got sent to me by a coworker saying that they found it interesting. I have no idea what to think of, but calling the Lenin a dictator can’t be right.

There is some kernel of truth in there but it’s framed in a very disingenous way to portray the bolsheviks as some sort of redfash and the poor utopian socialists as victims, there was a period of great terror in the early foundation of the USSR but the reasons for it are diametrically opposed to what is going on in the US right now.
I have by now read a couple of books and articles about the topic and so far i have not seen credible evidence that suggests anything but level headedness and true struggle for the lives of everyone. People who were fascist, interventionist or tsarist collaborators were mostly put in prisons for short terms and usually just kept from going. So far nothing suggests to me that there has actually ever been a “red terror”. Most of it is false flag stuff or local governments being stupid.
