Joe Rogan and Vladimir Lenin are stuck in Underground Bunker in a False Alarm and forced to have a deep conversation.

Rogan: So, Vladimir, this whole communist thing…was it just a giant DMT trip gone wrong, man? Like, did you ever think maybe individual freedom is the ultimate high?

Lenin: Freedom for the bourgeoisie to exploit the proletariat? Comrade Rogan, such naive individualism is the opiate of the masses!

Rogan: But what about personal responsibility, the power of the individual to shape their own destiny, ya know? Like, Jordan Peterson talks about it all the time.

Lenin: Destiny is shaped by the material conditions of society, Rogan. Peterson’s ideology only reinforces the structures of oppression.

Rogan: I dunno, man. Seems like you were pretty good at shaping things yourself, seizing power and all that. Was it the power, or the people, that really drove you?

Lenin: Power is merely the tool, Rogan. The people, guided by the vanguard party, are the hammer that smashes the chains of capitalism.

Rogan: So, all those famines, the purges...were those just necessary growing pains, like a really rough psychedelic experience before enlightenment?

Lenin: Scars of the revolution, yes, but the long-term gains of a communist society far outweigh the temporary setbacks.

Rogan: Still, seems like a lot of people got hurt along the way, all for an idea. Did you ever have doubts, like maybe you were wrong?

Lenin: Doubt is a bourgeois weakness. The correctness of Marxism-Leninism is historically inevitable.
