A specter is haunting the internet—the specter of memes. On this day 151 years ago, Vladimir Lenin was born. By the time he was 23, Lenin was a full-blown Marxist revolutionary, determined to help overthrow Russia's Tsarist empire. By age 47, he was organizing what would become the Soviet Union. And now, in death, he lives on as a meme. Whether you love him or hate him, Lenin was one of the most influential figures of the 20th century. We've collected a bunch of dank communist memes to acknowledge the late Russian revolutionary leader. Thanks for the memes, comrade.
