The constrast and tension between Lenin the successful 20th-century ideological icon and Lenin the hopeful 21st-century entrepreneur takes a new and surprising twist in today's insightful and paradigm-shattering episode of Toonbots. Thrill to the simultaneous destruction of assumptions from two centuries! Wonder at the depths of wisdom evinced by the metacartoonist! Rest assured in the knowledge that Toonbots is, indeed, the eye of the cultural storm of the coming millenium!
