“Lenin refused to recognise moral norms established by slave-owners for their slaves and never observed by the slave-owners themselves; he called upon the Proletariat to extend the class struggle into the moral sphere too.

To my mind, that is what's known as being stunningly--and embarrassingly--full of shit.”
