Leninism

Friends

 * [[File: Ormarxf.png]] Marxism - Greatly inspired me and taught me a lot of stuff. I greatly thank him and admire him!
 * [[File: ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism - He has made me proud. He implemented Socialism successfully and continued my legacy. I salute you, comrade!
 * [[File: Trot.png]] Trotskyism - You helped a lot in the Revolution as well as the creation of the Soviet Union.
 * [[File: Biolen.png]] Biological Leninism - Listens to my Teachings very well. But why do you want the Vanguard party to be informal?
 * [[File: Luxem.png]] Luxemburgism - Rest in power, Rosa!
 * [[File: Stalin.png]] Stalinism - You did a pretty good job in Industrializing the USSR and defeating the fascists.
 * [[File: Mao.png]] Maoism - Very good comrade who stayed loyal to my ideals! Watch out for the Revisionist Dengism though.
 * [[File: Juche.png]] Juche - Resist Western Imperialism! You can survive even if the US capitalists pressure you.
 * [[File: Castro.png]] Castroism - Same as Juche
 * [[File: Hoxha.png]] Hoxhaism - You do uphold my teachings and you are against revisionism but you were a bit wacky.

Frenemies

 * [[File: Tito.png]] Titoism - Hmmm you’re alright but I’d prefer if you were a bit more Socialist and cooperated with [[File: ML.png]] Marxism–Leninism instead of you two trying to kill eachother.
 * [[File: Polpot.png]] Pol Potism - Umm I can respect the Anti Capitalism but you went a bit too far...
 * [[File: Nazbol.png]] National Bolshevism - I’d prefer if you were a bit more internationalist and less racist.
 * [[File: Ancom.png]] Anarcho-Communism - You do want rights for the workers, but you should stop being so naive, a State is clearly needed.
 * [[File: Dsa.png]] Democratic Socialism - Heart is in the right place but woefully naive if he thinks you can just vote out the bourgeoisie.
 * [[File: LeftCom.png]] Left Communism - More Leninist than Lenin? Okay then...
 * [[File: Councom.png]] Council Communism - You have some good ideas but you can only work after socialism is established. We tried you out in 1917-1918. It didn't go well.
 * [[File: Dengf.png]] Dengism - Yes, the leftcoms are a bit unfair in how they mischaracterize you. No, that doesn't make you not revisionist. I still critically support you against [[File: Imp.png]] Imperialism, though.
 * [[File:Kemal.png]] - We helped you in the Turkish war of independence and you are a fellow anti-imperialist and a progressive. But you aren't a supporter of Communism. Why? Don't you know the best way to fight Imperialism is Communism?

Enemies

 * [[File: Monarch.png]] Monarchism - I still remember when I overthrew you lol! Good riddance scum.
 * [[File: Cap.png]] Capitalism - You are the enemy of the people! Mark my words one day the workers will once again rise against you.
 * [[File: Imp.png]] Imperialism - The highest stage of Capitalism.
 * [[File: Fash.png]] Fascism - Ah yes Fascism. The ideology that wants to kill me. Good luck with that fascist dog!
 * [[File: Nazi.png]] National Socialism - Same as Fascism but worse. You aren’t a Socialist, you just wanted to appeal to the workers.
 * [[File: Socdem.png]] Social Democracy - You shot me and you murdered Rosa. Stop trying to rebrand yourself as [[File: Dsa.png]] Democratic Socialism to naive Americans!
 * [[File: Khrusch.png]] Khrushchevism - Damn it, Nikita! You undermined everything I had set up. Crushing the 1956 counterrevolution was pretty based, though.
 * [[File: Reactsoc.png]] Reactionary Socialism - A relic of the past, feudalism's sad attempt to co-opt socialism to restore itself.
