Because Lenin had to spend a significant portion of his time in political exile in Germany

and the only real choices of countries he had

Were like Switzerland and Germany

That's just not the case Silk.

If you wanted to get back to Russia in a timely manner if called upon

You can't live out your days in Italy in those times

unless you want to live there permanently

Italy was underdeveloped af

That's not why

Germany fully intended Lenin to win the revolution

Even, EVEN assuming they didnt intend for him to win, its clear from the transcripts that it would've been benefical to Germany either way

It was more like "we need Lenin to cause turmoil, and if he wins, even better"

@Silkiri and?

We're talking about germany

Yes we are

dont point fingers

oH buT tHeY diD iT tOo

Anon they had to cut a deal with the German Empire

to avoid being overthrown

known as the treaty of brest-livotsk

It's quite obvious the Germans weren't pro Bolshevik

I really recommend you drop this argument as it is pretty much indefensible to take the position that the Germans wanted a Communist revolution

Did you not read what i said?

It was more like "we need Lenin to cause turmoil, and if he wins, even better"

How

That's an even more indefensible position

Are you saying they didnt want Lenin to cause turmoil?

Germany ABSOLUTELY did not want a communist uprising

They wanted turmoil in Russia just enough to make them drop out of the war

That was the sole goal not to change the regime

Lenin as a revolutionary is completley negated because he wasnt

He was a german agent

oh my god

no he obviously wasn't.

Direct funding from germans, sent by germans, safe keeping by the germans

Whatever

You'll convert to the right eventually as i did

or not

Anon if you want to convert someone to the right

first begin by using facts here
