Lenin = A realist, pragmatist.

Social control recognizes basic fact of modern life.
Real power today is economic.
This system is stronger than yours because it fits in with reality.

Useless thinking will make me not fit in with reality.
Economic social control for an economic age.
Useless thinking prompts me to ignore the fact. The most stupid thing I have and always done.
I could not accept that. I could not be blind with the fact. It is purely stupid.

The power of Lenin is the fact.
The truth is the fact.
Revolution is caused by economic condition not by Propaganda.
A socialist at first must be pragmatic. It is shameful to let capitalist become more pragmatic.
A realist.
