Ignorant of their own history

Does anyone actually read Lenin anymore? Apparently even the Socialists have other priorities.
The ISO stands in the tradition of revolutionary socialists Karl Marx, V.I. Lenin and Leon Trotsky in the belief that workers themselves--the vast majority of the population--are the only force that can lead the fight to win a socialist society. Socialism can't be brought about from above, but has to be won by workers themselves.
Oh yeah, that's exactly what Lenin wrote in What Is To Be Done? Next we'll hear how Lenin and Trotsky were pacifists.

There's a lot of idiots in the world. Some of them are organized.
