Very few characters have left quite as large a crater in the story of humanity as Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. The revolution that he spearheaded in early 1900s would set the whole world onto a different course after his death, the reverberations of which are still being felt today.
Opinions surrounding the man couldn't be more divided.

A popular opinion amongst those with more left-wing inclinations is that Lenin was a great idealist whose dream of a communist utopia became corrupted only after he died, under the hands of Joseph Stalin.

#History provides us with the enormous opportunity as both individuals and society to learn and adapt. Take the presidency of Jimmy Carter, who was tasked at reviving a morally corrupt federal government, while tackling stagflation & global multiple conflicts. 1/4 #ClimateChange
From a new #biography on the 39th president: "Carter proposed investing in clean energy, imagining a U.S. independent of Arab oil. His constituents just wanted to know when the pumps would start flowing again." 2/4 #ClimateChange #BookReview ajc.com/life/jimmy-car…
Instead of adapting to new economic conditions, placing #sustainability at the forefront, America chose the politically more digestible Republican argument. Today, we face a similar choice that is geometrically more consequential. 3/4 #Election2020 #ClimateChange
