    Ah, yes, Lenin. Definitely the creator of Marxism-Leninism, no reason to talk about the other guy. Don’t look up anything about Stalin, he’s harder for tankies to whitewash, not that they won’t fall ass over teakettle trying. It’s their job after all.

      Lenin created the theory, he didn’t call himself a “Marxist-Leninist” just like Marx didn’t call himself a “Marxist.” In the context of the comment I replied to, they specifically cited Orthodox Marxists, a fringe minority among Marxists that intentionally reject Lenin.
