Lenin’s legacy lives on today

COMRADE LENIN famously noted that “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.”

Communists and indeed all those dedicated to bringing about a new world have inevitably thought, at one time or another, on what Lenin might think or say about the 100 years that have passed since his death.  

So much has changed. So much has transpired for humanity and for the global communist movement which Lenin played such a decisive role in creating.
