Mine is that International Workers Day is May 1st to commemorate the Haymarket Affair, which happened in America where labor day is conspicuously much later in the year.
The fact that Lenin thought there would be no socialist revolution in his lifetime, about one year before the Russian revolution happened.
This is one of the best ones and should give us all hope.
Lenin had a tuxedo cat that looks almost exactly like one of our tuxedo cats.
During the Great Leap Forward, Mao Zedong stopped eating meat, and grew vegetables and kept rabbits in order to help alleviate the famine’s effects. Not much, but he did his part.

Don’t know if this qualifies as trivia, but I love that Marx wrote “The Poverty of Philosophy” as a direct “fuck you” to Proudhon’s “The Philosophy of Poverty”. It cracks me up every time I think about it.
Lol he was such a snarky little shit too, I love reading critique of gotha and seeing him get continually more pissed and tearing apart even single words as being opportunist or vague.
TRIZ
TRIZ (/ˈtriːz/; Russian: теория решения изобретательских задач, teoriya resheniya izobretatelskikh zadatch, literally: “theory of the resolution of invention-related tasks”) is “a problem-solving, analysis and forecasting tool derived from the study of patterns of invention in the global patent literature”.[1] It was developed by the Soviet inventor and science-fiction author Genrich Altshuller (1926-1998) and his colleagues, beginning in 1946. In English the name is typically rendered as “the theory of inventive problem solving”,[2][3] and occasionally goes by the English acronym TIPS.
Following Altshuller’s insight, the theory developed on a foundation of extensive research covering hundreds of thousands of inventions across many different fields to produce a theory which defines generalisable patterns in the nature of inventive solutions and the distinguishing characteristics of the problems that these inventions have overcome[4].
A direct kick in the mouth to the mouth-breathers that say “le gommulism cannot innobate”
That’s fkn cool, I gotta learn more about that.
