Rather than get distracted by Lenin’s railing against European bourgeois nationalism (which was often parochial, chauvinistic, and at times imperial) we should look at his support for the 1916 Easter uprising in Ireland.

On the hundredth anniversary of the passing of Lenin, we should remember the passing of one of history’s few figures to not only overthrow an old order but to transform egalitarian ideals into a new society. It would be a mistake, if not a sin, to ignore the many practical lessons of his life.
