Leninism

Leninism, also known as Orthodox Leninism or Bolshevism, is an authoritarian, left-wing, socialist ideology based on the beliefs of Russian revolutionary and first leader of the Soviet Union Vladimir Lenin. It inhabits the top-left corner of the Political Compass. He believes in the establishment of a Dictatorship of the Proletariat led by a Revolutionary Vanguard Party. He wants the full abolishment of private property and is in favour of Socialist Publicly owned property.

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 implemented Socialism successfully and continued my legacy.
 * [[File: Trot.png]] Trotskyism - You helped a lot in the Revolution as well as the creation of the Soviet Union. I’m also glad that you betrayed the Mensheviks! Your factionalism and theory were still tainted by menshevik line of thought.
 * [[File: Luxem.png]] Luxemburgism - Rest in power, Rosa!
 * [[File: Mao.png]] Maoism - Very good comrade who stayed loyal to my ideals! Watch out for the Revisionist [[File:Dengf.png]] Dengism though.
 * [[File: Stalin.png]] Stalinism - You did a pretty good job in Industrializing the USSR and defeating the fascists, But you didn't have to kill [[File: Trot.png]] Trotsky.
 * [[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 each other.
 * [[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: LeftCom.png]] Left Communism - More Leninist than Lenin? Okay then...
 * [[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:3princ-col.png]] Tridemism - A revolutionary democrat, endowed with nobility and heroism... but he hates [[File: Mao.png]] Mao.
 * [[File:Kemal.png]] Kemalism - 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?
 * [[File:Moncom.png]] Monarcho-Socialism - What the fuck is this?
 * [[File:Bism.png]] Bismarckism - Reactionary German imperialist. Thanks for the train ride back to Russia though.

Enemies

 * [[File: Fash.png]] Fascism - Ah yes Fascism. The building blocks for pretty much most cancerous ideologies. You need to step into the pit for once, fashie 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! You deserve certain death.
 * [[File: Reactsoc.png]] Reactionary Socialism - A relic of the past, feudalism's sad attempt to co-opt socialism to restore itself.
 * [[File: Khrusch.png]] Khrushchevism - Damn it, Nikita! You undermined everything I had set up. You started the end of the USSR.
 * [[File: Libertarian.png]] Libertarianism - Capitalist pawn!
