916 (1 of 100 series). A look at V.I. Lenin, the first person who tried to implement his own brand of Marxism/Communism

We see in the so called democratic politicians professing liberalism, a trait of arrogance, and a sort of self-righteousness, which makes them to be rude when dealing with people and persons. When the recipients of such rudeness or hurtful conversations, later seek corrections / explanations from the speakers, they refuse to withdraw their remarks. They even try to pass on the buck to Media, saying that Media has twisted what they said. Or the politicians blatantly deny what they have said amidst media glare, and even when audio/ video clippings are available. Lenin, the mass leader of the 1917 Russia, who led Bolshevik Revolution there, seems to be somewhat an exception. Lenin might have been a dictator. May be under his tyrannical directions his cronies might have sent dissenters to Labor Camps, or killed them. But, this paragraph from his letter dated 16th June 1921 addressed to his Comrades Koenen, Thalheimer, Fröhlich prima facie shows that he did not hesitate to apologise to the concerned persons or withdraw his words..

To WILHELM KOENEN, AUGUST THALHEIMER AND PAUL FRÖHLICH

Dear Comrades!

I have received a copy of your letter to our Party’s Central Committee. Thank you very much. I communicated my answer orally yesterday. I take this opportunity to emphasise that I do most resolutely withdraw the rude and impolite expressions I used, and hereby repeat my oral apology in writing.

With communist greetings,
Lenin
