Vladimir Ilich Ulyanov Lenin (born April 22, 1870, Simbirsk, Russia—died Jan. 21, 1924, Gorki, near Moscow) Founder of the Russian Communist Party, leader of the Russian Revolution of 1917, and architect and builder of the Soviet state. Born to a middle-class family, he was strongly influenced by his eldest brother, Aleksandr, who was hanged in 1887 for conspiring to assassinate the tsar. He studied law and became a Marxist in 1889 while practicing law. He was arrested as a subversive in 1895 and exiled to Siberia, where he married Nadezhda Krupskaya. They lived in western Europe after 1900. At the 1903 meeting in London of the Russian Social-Democratic Workers’ Party, he emerged as the leader of the Bolshevik faction. In several revolutionary newspapers that he founded and edited, he put forth his theory of the party as the vanguard of the proletariat, a centralized body organized around a core of professional revolutionaries; his ideas, later known as Leninism, would be joined with Karl Marx’s theories to form Marxism-Leninism, which became the communist worldview. From Britannica’s Lenin Biography.

“I detest communism because it is the negation of liberty and I cannot conceive anything human without liberty.I am not a communist because communism concentrates all the powers of society and absorbs them into the State, because it leads inevitably to the centralization of property in the hands of the State, while I want to see the State abolished. I want complete elimination of the authoritarian principle of state tutelage which has always subjected,oppressed,exploited, and depraved men while claiming to moralize and civilize them.I want society, and collective or social property, to be organized from the bottom up through free association and not from the top down by authority of any kind…In that sense I am a collectivist and not att all a communist.” -Bakunin

The best sticker ever!!! if it’s indeed a sticker… regardless of my political views on communism.
Hadley, you have “un oeil de faucon”… the vision of an hawk to find those gems.
According to Wikipedia: “Hawks are believed to have vision as good as 20/2, about eight times more acute than humans with good eyesight. This is because of many photoreceptors in the retina (Up to 1,000,000 per square mm, against 200,000 for humans), a very high number of nerves connecting the receptors to the brain, a second set of eye muscles not found in other animals, and an indented fovea, which magnifies the central part of the visual field.”
