@VladimirLimeMint Lenin was really sex-averse, even for his rather patriarchal upbringing. It led to some pretty bad takes by modern standards but he also may have been an OG ace icon.

Lenin: “Gay sex is counterrevolutionary!”
Modern chud: “Fuck yeah!”
Lenin: “Straight sex is also counterrevolutionary!”
Chud: “Fuck y­— wait what”
Lenin: “If you aren’t putting every ounce of your energy into physically building the revolution, what you are doing is counterrevolutionary!”
Trotsky: “Also the concept of family is bourgeois, and parents should have little to nothing to do with childrearing!”
Lenin: “… okay one tick there bud”

It’s hilarious to me because it’s exactly the kind of “political” joke you would hear in the Soviet Union, where ideological proclamations of party leaders are put in absurd or sexual contexts.

Probably the most famous one:

Dzerzhinsky and Trotsky are arguing: which is better, a wife or a mistress?

Dzerzhinsky says: “A mistress.”

Trotsky says: “A wife.”

They can’t agree, so they ask Lenin.

Lenin replies:

“Both! Tell your wife you’re with your mistress, tell your mistress you’re with your wife… and meanwhile, go up to the attic and study, study, and study again.”

(“Study, study, and study again” was the most famous Lenin quote in the USSR, the placard with those words would hang in every single classroom of every school).

This has great meme template potential.

We need more leftist meme templates.
