Hello
Sorry, maybe someday i will meet a comunist that explains me his perspective. But now i wont never believe in communist and hate it, Cuba, Rusia, China, the best examples of communist. My president Mr. Chavez want to make socialism of 21 century, but its too obvius he want all the power like a communist.

Having lived under "Socialism," I can safely say that this video was one of the crappiest submissions I have ever seen.
The only reason that the USSR did not starve under Lenin was because he didn't follow traditional Marxist/socialist thought; namely, that you have to collectivize everything. He instead allowed a fairly capitalist "New Economic Policy" which allowed individuals to harvest their own grain and sell it for profit and such. When Stalin came to power and tried to socialize Russia, everybody starved (especially in Western Ukraine, look it up). Furthermore, Lenin was not supported by the majority of the people in 1917, since the Bolsheviks were considered fairly radical; instead, the more moderate social-democrat Mensheviks had the majority of support. Lenin was shuttled in by Germany to destabilize Russia, which succeeded - he signed the humiliating treaty of Brest-Litovsk, which lost Russia 1/3 of its people/land.
There's an old joke that I learned when I was a child:
A man dies and goes to hell. The devil offers him a tour of Hell's most renowned inmates. After seeing countless criminals and twisted sick individuals, he comes to Hitler, who is in shit up to his neck. After Hitler, he sees Stalin, who is only in shit up to his waist. When the man asks the Devil why, the Devil responds that it's because Stalin is standing on Lenin's shoulders.
