Considering the title, State Capitalism, this is a really bizarre cover. Since when did Lenin ever try State Capitalism?? We actually have a name for when countries guide corporations, or a country starts to be treated like a company. It’s a very far-right system called Fascism. It’s To be fair, I understand why they would they would show Lenin. After all, showing a giant picture of Hitler or Mussolini with a money cigar would be hyperbolic. Better to go with the communist angle.On the other hand. SOMEONE GIVE ME A PICTURE OF HITLER WITH A MONEY CIGAR.
