I love spooky stuff so itd be cool but it wouldnt be materialist at all.

Sounds like a cool alternative history story tho, swap Lenin with rasputin and see what happens

Incidentally, this is the plot to the film The King's Man. Including a rad mid-credit scene of Lenin and Hitler chumming it up like, "How do you do, comrade Hitler? You and I are exactly the same, I being Lenin the communist, and you Hitler the fascist. We're going to make a sequel to this World War."

I think if I saw that on screen while enjoying a terrible Cold War movie with my dad, I'd probably accidentally and involuntarily break whatever was in my hand at the time. But then, I've always liked to call myself a "Leninist" and a "Bolshevik", rather than more modern terms, so maybe I'm a little more prone to Lenin's cult of personality than most modern Western commies.
