Or we could just build up the working class with unions and worker co-ops

I'm so glad you posted this. I've been looking for some of the photos of soldiers getting attacked for a long time. I commend your efforts in trying to educate people even though they won't listen.

Until rich people decided to own all the land and now there's no freedom.

I'm trying to break down the barriers between the working class and the means of production. That barrier is the rich and we will eat them. Thanks for the inspiration

It was many factions. I'm just saying all of them were trying to have third revolutions while the people starved to death. At some point, revolutions end with a unifying government that isn't trying to murder each other. Lenin was not the villain you're painting him to be.

That's not true at all. The Mensheviks wanted to cooperate with the bourgeoisie and were therefore a bad representation of socialism. Lenin formed the Bolsheviks because the Mensheviks were being stupid. The country was also fractured after the revolution and many groups of counter-revolutionary groups were trying to overthrow the barely formed government. Meanwhile famines were ravaging the country. Understanding the historical context of Russia in 1917 and the economic struggles the people were dealing with is very important to understanding why things happened the way they did. Looking at the aftermath of a revolution where everyone is vying for power and killing each other doesn't automatically make the winner of that power grab the bad guys.

Weird, I was under the impression that the purges happened after Lenin died. Can ghosts lead a purge?

I wonder who caused that regime to come to power. Could it have been... The US? 😱

At some point it's really up to the consumers to stop buying shit games
