Lenin and not Lukács if they’re so into Leninism? Have you ever asked yourself that?

Google just came to my rescue—I had absolutely no idea who Lukács was.

"György (Georg) Lukács was not studied in the USSR as an independent thinker due to his affiliation with 'Western Marxism,' his departure from the dogmas of Soviet historical materialism, and his open criticism of Stalinism. His ideas were considered dangerous to the established Soviet ideological doctrine."

Do you understand now that socialism in the West and socialism in the USSR are two entirely different things?
