The Farmhouse Philosopher

I have asked the Farmhouse Philosopher to spend some time discussing issues surrounding Vladimir Lenin and his writings.
The Farmhouse Philosopher might not always answer. He is a guru. He needn't. Others should feel free to weigh in as well with comments, of course.
I recently discovered an English translation of Lenin's "Collected Works" published in 1963. The original Russian edition was prepared by the Institute of Marxism-Leninism, Central Committee of the C.P.S.U.
I will be basing my questions to the Farmhouse Philosopher on these "Collected Works."He will be giving his answers based on whatever he wants . . . :)
