Good bit, but seriously, let’s try to advertise communist theory to these kinds of guys this way. Paint an image of the Bolsheviks as freedom fighters against a backwards feudal system and Lenin as a badass rebel type. (Compare it to 1776, perhaps, and imply the American revolution is still incomplete. That’s my fave strategy for dealing with American “rah rah freedumb!” types.) Get nut job children of the Cold War who hate communism to read things they’d never otherwise read, by any means short of actually straight up lying about the contents.
