British Library exhibition treats Russian Revolution from a hostile standpoint

Nothing to write about tbh, shit like that happens everywhere all the fucking time
There's so much revisionism I'm starting to believe History is dead and we killed it

its still worth seeing. lenins hand written request to study at the library under a pseudonym, propaganda directed at british soldiers during the civil war and a few other rare bits of propaganda are highlights.

the last bit of the exhibition with excerpts from soviet film and shostakovich playing in the background is great.

WTF I hate french for inventing guillotines and using them during french revolution now

It's the analogy you introduced. I guess it's only natural you'd think it wild since it bent back and bit you.
Then neither is a hammer a tool that can be used "for a variety of purposes." In a literal sense, a hammer has only one purpose, which is to deliver kinetic energy to a precise point. The end to which this purpose is employed though may vary.
How can context make Lenin "slightly less guilty" if these tools supposedly have only one "purpose?" Political oppression is political oppression is political oppression…

So because Obama bombed 7 countries in the middle east we gotta hate the guy who came up with aerial bombardment?

That's cause Marx was himself a revisionist at the end of his life.

Shit, that was probably Wilbur spitting on Orville's head.
