I'm curious why you say that. The Stalinist aspects of fake-progressive SJW ideology and behavior are obvious: imposition of Kafkaesque bureaucratic tyranny; establishment of a nomenklaturist para-elite; fake statistics used to justify disastrous policies; databasing and doxxing their enemies; frequent witch hunt style purges; apologetics for and expansion of the police state; widespread use of shibboleths and purity tests; etc, etc, etc.
However I see nothing particularly Leninist about the SJW faction. They're openly and proudly anti-working-class. They usually favor "social market" capitalism where the inherited rich retain control of society while the plebs are pacified with more extensive bread & circuses. Their idea of "revolution" is using the coercive power of the state-corporate hegemon to force people to use 50 different gender pronouns. Workers seizing control of the state and expropriating the property of capitalists? Not so much.
Remember when Google forced their CoC on unwilling Go language developers who kept shouting "no"? When they did that, I stopped contributing. Quite a few others did the same.
Your argument appears to be that Google was required by law to muzzle Mr Damore's political speech. Yet somehow this outsourced political repression is ethically superior to direct political repression. 'Cuz private property, I guess?
Boss tells employee to warm up his car. Employee goes out to the car and turns it on to warm it up.
A gang of co-workers see this and become inexplicably enraged. The coworkers start rioting and burning down buildings. While loudly shouting that God, the law, and almighty SCIENCE are on their side.

Abusive labor practices FTW!
Fwiw this book may provide some insight into what Lenin would think of our SJW "leftists":

Equality before the law is and always has been a lie.
Just got out of there. This sort of neo-puritan raging bullshit is completely unknown here in Asia.
"the people running the show"
You mean the corporate paymasters?
You sound like a violent, self-righteous fascist.
When a social justice hypocrite describes something as "safe, inclusive, and welcoming" you can be sure it's toxic, divisive, and off-putting.

What's it like to defend witch hunting? Why would you do that?
I've been called liberal and been called conservative by different people. But I identify as (small-c) communist.
Fuck the bogus left/right false dichotomy. Solidarity forever.
Theo is actually Chuck Norris incognito. He doesn't NEED a score.
Shouldn't they change the name to FormerlyFreeBSD?
Stalin would have lined scumbags like you up against the nearest wall.
Keep that in mind as you pray for the establishment of neo-stalinism in America.
So his political speech was in fact muzzled by law. Thank you for clarifying that.
De facto, programmers are not permitted to serve on a jury.
Source: every programmer I know who had ever been called for jury duty. This in Silicon Valley, no less.
"Jury of your peers" my ass....
The same careers that are prestigious everywhere else, you xenophobic fucktard.
Classical Liberals are LITERALLY HITLER!!!!2!!1!!!
Dontcha know?

You seem to have mistaken "conservative" for "capitalist running dog". These days the latter tend to self-identify as "progressive".
Better analogy:
Boss tells employee to warm up his car. Employee goes out to the car and turns it on to warm it up.
A gang of co-workers see this and become inexplicably enraged. The coworkers start rioting and burning down buildings. While loudly shouting that God, the law, and almighty SCIENCE are on their side.
Lick those corporate boots!
Lick that police state boot!
Why do you hate freedom?
NLRB are stooges of big business, responsible for giving a veneer of "lawfulness" to the predations of capital against labor.
So no surprise here: Stooges be stoogin'
