And once the Leninists are in charge, they become less useful and simply “idiots” who may very well end up like Trotsky.

The liberals are following several guide ‘books’. 1984. We the Living. Lenin. Stalin. Mao. Rules for Radicals.

An article I read said that Lenin never actually used that term but it originated with journalists, which is ironic because most of them are now useful idiots.
An interesting phenomena I have observed, I had searched “useful idiots” years ago where I saw the reference to journalists creating the term, but today it doesn’t come up on my searches.
