Lenin had no interest in ideology? Have you read any of his "non sense". He had so much interest that he declared quantum mechanics a falacy in a special publication about modern physics. It was based on the pure tenet that Dielectic Materialism (in essence Marxism) has intrinsically as its ideological basis the principle of causality, which quantum mechanics does not accept. Mind, you, Lenin was an extremely gifted ideologue, to a fault, since it often interfered with the practicality of getting his revolution done. Zeev

Hi Scumbria; Maybe it is true that "the Soviets were trying to expand after the mid-60's", but from the point of view of the US, communist expansion didn't begin to become communist contraction until around 1980. During the 60s and 70s, quite a lot of countries turned communist one way or another. Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia and Afghanistan come to mind. If you add in the nations that were allied with the Soviet Union, but not communist, along with the communist funded revolutions that were defeated, as well as the western democratic communist parties that ended up sharing power peacefully, the list gets longer. Sure Afghanistan was the Soviet Union's Vietnam, but they weren't finished there until Reagan broke the law and arranged to send them covert aid. -- Carl
