but as people fundamentally destined to be slaves to them
the communist regime wasn't even Russian
and their goal was to destroy russia
it wasn't a utopia: it was targetted extermination
that's how I see it
check out the Myth of the 20th Century episode on the Holodomor
and you see that it (and other policies) were deliberate
even Ta-Nehisi Coates (!) in the Atlantic (!) wrote about how about a third of the NKVD was of a *certain background*
you don't even have to dive into 8chan archives to this info
a nobel prize winner was *explicit* about this
Solzhenitsyn has many quotes about who and how did this
Alexander solzensomfun
Given up trying to spell that name

i hope this is allowed
I think it's mandatory tbh
@YourFundamentalTheorum All utopian fever dreams lead to murderous tyranny. And I agree that the Communist Revolution was a pathogen infected while the Russians were at their weakest. But that is the danger with (((parasites))). They treat their hosts as contemptible and disposable husks. Our own elites are busting out the U.S. as if we are a New York restaurant being busted out by the Mafia.

Summoning @Attrition in the desert
quick everyone, act normal
but back to the topic: while you can’t deny that there were issues with the Russian regime by the early 1900s, the Bolsheviks were the worst possible outcome of the revolution
there were good reformers and bad reformers, but they were generally still pro-Russian people
not so with the Bolsheviks
or the menshiviks for that matter
true. but even they were subverted or forced out of power
there were anti-Red social democrats and constitutional democrats
disclaimer: the revolution was still a bad thing
the revolution imo was the worst single even in the history of russia
*event
if you account for other events that happened as a result, absolutely yes
In the early 1900s the Russian economy was among the fastest growing in the world. There was emerging a robust middle class. They had a Duma after 1905 which would have grown in influence. Except for the war, Russian would have been just fine except for their huge non-Russian empire. That would have melted away at some point regardless. But the Left was growing in power all over Europe. If WWI could have been avoided, it would be interesting to know if the Leftist pathology would have been stamped out. I'm inclined to agree with William S. Lind that It would have been preferable if Germany had actually won a clear victory in WWI. Not perfect, but preferable.
I obviously don't support communism, but monarchy honestly seems pretty bad to me
