Pretty chic tbh
Bet I could get lots of dates in this getup
Sure, I'll get you started:
First of May 1956
Third of November 1973
Tenth of February 1968
More like Vladimir Elite Linen
Cheaper than the Makhno look with the $900 pants.
The ultimate start of the century bourgeois attire
Bourgeois?
Like many leftist intellectuals, Lenin originated from the bourgeoisie
By that point, though, Lenin had lost a great majority of his childhood privledges. His father died at 15, and he was expelled from university for his radicalism and participation in demonstrations. By the time Lenin would have had this picture taken, there's no confusion about his material wealth.
I'm not sure bourgeois was the right label either, though his family was certainly well-off.
Yet he was able to make lectures and write books all along his exile
Yep.
Yet another way in which capitalism creates the conditions of it's own overthrow: it creates a class of people with the time and resources to study and organize against it, and some of them do.
