many more. It was in this manner that Lenin built his GULAG
archipelago.
Lenin often demonstrated short-sightedness or complete stupidity. For
example, he hated railways. According to him, the railways were suitable
for cultured civilisation only in the eyes of bourgeois professors. In
Lenin's opinion, railways were a weapon with which to suppress millions
of people. ("Collected Works", 2nd edition, Vol. 19, p. 74.) The workers
on the Baikal-Amur railway were not given this quote to read in their
barracks.
In 1916, Lenin claimed that capitalism would very soon die out. His
Communism fell first.
Lenin was not in the least interested in the world's cultural heritage. He
never visited the Louvre whilst in Paris. In 1910 he actually called Paris a
despicable hole. The Jewish revolutionary Maria Essen, in her book
"Memories of Lenin" (part 1, p. 244) confirms that Lenin never visited
museums or exhibitions. Gorky, however, forced him to visit the National
Museum of Naples. He avoided the workers' quarters of towns. (Paul
Johnson, "Modern Times", Stockholm, 1987, p. 82.) Indeed, Marx had
said that the workers were stupid cattle.
Lenin did not like listening to music. Why waste time on such rubbish?
In his opinion, music awakened unnecessarily beautiful thoughts. This was
why he did not want anyone else to listen to music either, least of all to
opera. Stalin's interpreter, Valentin Berezhkov, reveals in his memoranda
that Lenin wanted to shut down the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, since the
working classes had no need of operas. Only when it was explained to
Lenin that opera music was a part of the Russian culture did he grudgingly
give in. He had visited the Theatre of Arts only a few times, claims
Anatoli Lunacharsky who also confirmed that Lenin was entirely ignorant
of art. Lenin stressed that art must be utilised for the purposes of
propaganda. The purpose of art and culture was, according to Lenin, to
serve Socialism, nothing else. This was why many Jewish abstractionists
and other art jokers were immediately employed, among others Vasili
Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich and Isaac Brodsky, to make all public
places shine with communist symbols, slogans and placards. Proletkult
(the culture of the proletariat = culturelessness) was founded on Lenin's
orders. Later, repressive methods were used to establish socialist realism -
