Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov [Lenin] Vs [Your Choice] [Political Debate]

I will begin my arrangement by stating who Vladimir Illyich Ulyanov was and what his accomplishments were. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov aka Lenin was a Russian revolutionary who overthrew the Russian government with the help of his Bolshevik party and their allies and thus installed a Communist State and Government. While growing up Lenin had at first had no interest in politics however it wasn't until May 20th 1887 that Lenin would suffer a personal loss the loss of his brother Aleksandr Ilyich Ulyanov who was sentenced to death by Tsar Nicholas The Second who had him sentenced to death for Revolutionary activity. After watching his brothers execution [Hanging] Lenin went on to find what his brother had been up to. It was here that Lenin would encounter the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels Author and Co-Author of the Communist Manifesto. Lenin would go on to read the works of Marx and would begin to see what his brother was fighting for and thus Lenin decided to continue what his brother had tried to start. Lenin quickly met people with very similar ideas to his and shared his views with Marxism these people would help later form the Bolshevik Party. Lenin would later find himself in life arrested and exiled multiple times as a result of his revolutionary work and ideas however Lenin would meet his future wife while in exile although in exile Lenin would keep in touch with other underground socialist groups in Russia. In 1917 Lenin would return to Russia in what would be known as the October Revolution [Despite it happening in November] this would be one of Lenin's greatest moments as he was able to overthrow the corrupt government. Once in power Lenin made a lot of changes and had to make some horrible decisions that although he did not want to do them he was the only one who could deal with it. I'll now list a few of Lenin's accomplishments: Bread, Land and Peace For The People. Everyone got a Shelter over their head. Gays were treated as equals and were allowed to work in the government. Overthrew a corrupt government. Pulled Russia out of World War I [Which was something the Russian people loved him for] Wrote numerous economic/political books. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These were a few things that the Russian people loved about him however he was short lived as he would die on the 21st of January 1924. Lenin was a true man of the people he was more than happy to give speeches in public despite the risk which became a quick reality after Lenin was shot during one of his speeches but even that was not enough to stop him and he continued to give speeches despite being shot a second time. Upon Lenin's death people from all across the Soviet Union came to see him one last time a majority of the Bolshevik Party was also present notably Stalin and Trotsky. It is also worth noting that Petrograd was renamed Leningrad in his honor along with hundreds of Statues of Lenin that were erect after his death in his honor. Lenin devoted his life to bringing Communism to a country that needed it most and when it's cries became loud enough he answered the door creating policies that protected the Russian Workers from exploitation, building more homes for the Russian people to live in. Providing bread for all of the Russian people who were starving, Lenin was known to be a fierce Politician always trying to spread the Communist Ideology across the world or at least that's what he wanted to do before his to early death. I'll quickly do a short list of his Policies : Better working condition for the Russian Workers. Women had equal opportunity and were able to get almost any job. Gays were to be treated equally. However Lenin's greatest policy by far was his New Economic Policy or as Lenin called it State Capitalism. Lenin created this policy which would still allow a free market and allowed private individuals to own small enterprises meanwhile the State had total control over banks, foreign trade, and large industries. This policy also introduced Prodnalog a tax on farmers that they could pay if they pleased with their farming goods rather than money this was a far better than the Tsar who forced his men to take grain from the farmers without letting the farmers have a choice. That's really all I have to say on who Lenin was along with his policies and accomplishments for now. I will let Con make his argument also I would like to apologize to Con for taking so long as work came up.
