What do you think of this quote?

The exploited classes need political rule in order completely to abolish all exploitation, i.e., in the interests of the vast majority of the people, and against the insignificant minority consisting of the modern slave-owners the landlords and the capitalists.

V. I. Lenin, The State and Revolution

Idk, slaves couldn't get out of being a slave except through being released.

People can actually get into the landlord class, even if it is difficult. Though it is seemingly more difficult each day.

I think the situation today carries a different complexity than it did in Lenin's time. Today's exploited class is international in scale. It's not a relationship between the factory owner and workers in Manchester, or between landlord and serf in Russia, but between pretty much global north and global south.

Lenin's political stances have nothing to do with the CCP.

this was also the case in Lenin's time. he wrote about it extensively in Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism. the dynamic still very much exists at the level of "factory owner and workers in Manchester" though

No. Because slaves did not have a choice to not be slaves.

Whereas you literally have a choice to no rent.
This, people trying to push they feel they are a slave have no clue what real slavery is.

Get this commie bullshit outta here topic creator.

Modern day slavery when Lenin was alive was just slavery. Pretty much only the west had banned slavery by then, it was still common globaly.
Within the US something like for every 3 slaves released in 1865, 1 slave was created by black codes and convict leasing or debt peonage.

So when real legit slavery is happening, and Lenin claims capitalist and landlords are equal to that... HA! Communists are divorced from reality.

I would assume Lenin is referring to the institution of russian serfdom when he's talking about landlords, and not some guy renting out an apartment in the city.

I'm not sure about the body count, but Lenin did establish the gulags.

China: *uses actual slave labor*

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-54277430
"Instead, available evidence suggests that many extrajudicial detainees in Xinjiang's vast "re-education" network are now being formally charged and locked up in higher security facilities, including newly built or expanded prisons, or sent to walled factory compounds for coerced labour assignments."

Shab: truly capitalism is the real slavery

what do you expect from a bunch of over entitled children who think paying rent is comparable to slavery? They know literally nothing of struggle.

This.

Modern day slavery, in the US anyway, is basically the prison system. Technically, its the government and not the prison owner, who owns the slaves.

EDIT: US companies also take advantage of slavery in other countries, too.

He did not. You are confusing him and Stalin. The gulags were beginning to be established in 1929 while Lenin's death was in 1924. The communists under Lenin started to prosecute what they viewed as criminals in 1922, however at that point in time not only was Lenin not well enough to be relevant in politics but the prison system was largely no different than what it is in America (technically it was better in some aspects but that is splitting hairs in meaningless gesture).
