Useful Idiots is a pungent phrase usually attributed to Lenin. They were going to help him conquer the world but illness [ syphilis in all probability ] and death caught up with him first. In the event Joe Stalin carried on where he left off. Uncle Joe was not an idiot but he was very useful in the mass murder line.
There are people and sources who claim that he did not originate the expression. The Wikipedia is one such but then it is a propaganda machine. See what they have to say at useful idiots. For something on their attitude to the truth go to Wikipedia. However Wikiquote tells us what Lenin said; it indicates an unrelenting savagery which accords well with the reality.
The Liberal Mind
- The Psychological Causes of Political Madness
Doctor Rossiter, a psychologist explains WHY rather than WHAT. He
makes a lot of sense to me. There is more on this theme at:-
The Lunatic Fringe
The lunatic Fringe are closely related to useful idiots. The term
was invented by Teddy Roosevelt referring to dynamiters or some such.
Dorothy Parker
Was a useful idiot or puppet mistress; the two can shade into one
another. At all events she colluded with
Willi Münzenberg who was the great puppet
master of the German communist party. She was definitely brought in a lot of
rich idiots and they are very useful for financing things. The Wikipedia is
quite forthcoming about her guilt. She was part Jew.
History And Impact Of Marxist
Leninist Organizational Theory
Was written by Professor
Roche who has read his way over the ground and actually understands
what it is all about. Transmission
belts presumably refer to propaganda systems which impose ideas on
the peasant masses and command hierarchies which tax them and control
them.
How to be a useful idiot
It is all too easy if all you see is the easy money offer, in
this case from Arabs with oil riches.
Errors

ups, over-emphasis, malice [ real or imaginary ] or whatever; if you
