Lenin and Politics

Completely random, but this was a quotation I found in my email inbox from a long time ago (over a year ago?), that I wanted to post. I thought the last sentence to be especially true:

“I think that a fatal role was played here by hurry and the administrative impetuousness of Stalin and also his infatuation with the renowned “social-nationalism”. Infatuation in politics generally and usually plays the worst role.”

–Lenin, In the December 30, 1922 article “Nationalities Issue” or about “Autonomization”

Like I said before, totally random, but I always like learning these little obscure pearls of knowledge (or trivia). Enjoy!
