Vladimir Lenin spent most of the decade preceding the revolution drifting between Krakow, Zurich and London. His extremism was precisely what persuaded the German government, then at war with Russia, to help Lenin carry out his plans. Their offer of “peace” concealed their faith in the coming world revolution and their determination to use force to bring it about. By contrast, the neo-Bolsheviks of the new right or alt-right do not want to conserve or to preserve what exists.
