Note that while Lenin might have said that in 1903, that was a decade and a half before the October Revolution, and Russia and the USSR actually did have internal passports. According to the pedophiles at Wikipedia it was only abolished in 1997. It's easy to criticize a regime you're trying to overthrow and replace with something a thousand times worse.
The USSR also had multiple "secret cities", usually tied to strategic interests like nuclear research, submarine bases, etc., with extremely strict border controls. https://passportsymphony.com/closed-russian-cities/
Ok... So I agree with Lenin on that much, then...
I mean, look, Lenin did terrible shit, and spawned terrible shit, but the Empire at the time was no better (as that makes very apparent), so... Eh.
Lenin wins on that one, at least, in my book. Not literally every single thing he proposed/did was bad, after all, lol.

In fact the ultimate outcome of the liberal democrat establishment oppression may be global communist revolution, and we know what that leads to.
