2. Bannon isn't a commie. He's a right-winger.

The idea that he's a Leninist seems to spring from an off-the-cuff comment he made a few years ago to a Daily Beast writer. He claimed to be a Leninist, because he wanted to "destroy the state." Of course, wanting to destroy the state doesn't really make one a Leninist, and if there's any other evidence that Bannon is a Lenin fanboy, I haven't seen it.

Bannon is fucking scary. But not because of any real connection to Lenin.
