22. Since Lenin adopted the elimination of the bourgeoisie as a matter of both theory and practice,,,
and socialism had been directed at that goal for nearly 70 years before Lenin's revolution, I find that difficult to classify as theft of the word. Socialism was grounded in the principle of the proletariat discarding the bourgeoisie analogously with capitalism's elimination of the feudal aristocracy. Where's the disconnect between that and Lenin?
