I don't like Leninists but there's a difference between their idea of a workers state and what happened in the Soviet Union. I do think their intention matters even if the historical outcomes have been bad

    When you use violence and force to take power.

    Then the power of your new state will be a forceful and violent one.

    There is no other outcome. We've tested this countless times, already. The USA at a glance is primed for a civil war, and the winners are very likely not the ones you're thinking of.

    See I actually agree with you, I don't like Leninists, but I distinguish between Leninists who believe in their vanguard parties and Tankies who think the strongmen who come out of them are a good thing.
