consider this: if Lenin had let the mensheviks win (as they democratically should have), the 100 gorillion meme wouldn't exist today, and we'd have less classcuckoldry.

why
Jaxon Richardson
It wouldn't matter. The ruling classes always up their black propaganda as society gets closer to revolution. Any authentically revolutionary movement would deal with many of the same problems, no matter the ideology or conditions.
Austin Walker
The majority of votes went to the SRs.

James Clark
bogpill me on the mensheviks
Daniel Garcia
they thought temporary capitalism was a necessary step before establishing communism
Cameron Allen
that meme comes from the great leap forward so it would still exist
Matthew Rivera
"lets just try and vote for socialist reforms and do nothing else" the party
Christopher James
So basically Lenin?
Liam Brooks
interesting
Mason Powell
They were limp-dicked reformers. At least Lenin TRIED to build Communism.
Easton Nelson
Very interesting. Goes to show the class character of the bolshevik party, and the awkwardness of proletarian revolution in a nation that was not yet fully proletarianized.
Joseph Brooks
long live democrats!
Jaxon King
No we would have had many more dead with no anti-commie propaganda, instead we would have had a world under nazi rule with in the billions genocided for not being ethnically german.
Hunter Cooper
Shocking
Anthony Kelly
Nazis only took power because of anti-communist scare mongering.
Xavier Lewis
No, they took power because the Comintern was not only useless, but actively working against communism succeeding in Germany. I suspect it's because Stalinists secretly fear mass movements because they are fundamentally anti-bureaucratic and Stalinism can survive only so long as there is immense bureaucracy.
Cameron Flores
Speakeing of 1917 Russia. Why didn’t Lennin adopt the land policy of these people. en.wikipedia.org
Nicholas Hughes
wasn't that exactly what he did though
Asher Jenkins
Agrarian reform is petty-booj, see: Mao.
Brandon Flores
No Lennin nationalized Land. Peasents were against that. This resutled in the Green Army Peasent revolt.
Bullshit. Peasants =/= Peti-Booj

Trotsky was literally the only socialist in the 1930's who fully understood the risks the Nazis posed. He was also the only socialist who actually understood the phenomenon of fascism. And, unlike Stalin, he didn't make the KPD peddle the fucking garbage, horrifying idea that the Nazis were preferable to so-called "social fascists".
Brandon Foster
Caleb Campbell
Is this just like the designated shitposting flag now
Isaac Hughes
why are the mensheviks more well-known than the SRs when they got so little votes?
Lincoln Brooks
Lots of communists were aware, fascism was a key point during the 7th congress of the comintern. The problem is that the allies didn't do anything until WWII was unavoidable.
Brandon Barnes
Russia was too much of a shithole to modernize without an insane amount of causalities.
Brayden Gomez
I’m an unironic agrarian socialist. I think everyone should move back to rual areas and cities and Suburbs should be bulldozed.
Henry Cook
isn't that basically what Varg is? makes sense.
