Lennon or Lenin?

[NedimNapoleon]

Lenin because his party always finds you!

 

[_random_]

So which one makes a better punny soft drink?

 

[Borachio]

Too close to call, that one, IMO.

(Should that be Betelgeuse?)

 

[Dachs]

Neither one of them was particularly interesting, and both suffer from ridiculous amounts of overexposure.

What? Better than Jesus?

Fun Fact: Jesus was the first communist!

 

[red_elk]

Comrade J. Christ was very formidable person too.

 

[Borachio]

But could he turn vodka into water? Like any good Russian?

 

[red_elk]

He wasn't Russian, therefore no.
He didn't have his personal pet bear too, like any good Russian does.

 

[Deaths Advocate]

Can you prove he didn't have a bear?

 

[Leoreth]

I thought the Simpsons invented the Beatles softdrinks. That would've been better

 

[Deaths Advocate]

Wait, beer or bear?

 

[red_elk]

Can you prove he didn't have a bear?

He said "Bear good fruit".
Obviously he didn't even know what bear is.

 

[Deaths Advocate]

Yogi, Winnie or Grizlie?

I thought the same, but my Google image search pleasantly surprised me.

 

[Borachio]

Anyway. There is, perhaps, a serious point behind the OP.

What is it?

Erm.

So you've got these two guys, right?

One highly influential in possibly one of the greatest failed social experiments in human history.

Spoiler :

(And the other is Lenin.)

The other was a huge world-wide celebrity phenomenon. (Though possibly not in China.)

Will either of them have had a lasting influence? Or will we say in 100 years time, "Who, WTH"?

And just how different were their essential messages in the end?

 

[Deaths Advocate]

I am certain both will be well known in 100 years

 

[Traitorfish]

A posturing, over-paid, pseudo-revolutionary, or a Scouser. Tricky.

Render unto Caesar aint what I'd expect from the father of communism
