I can't bring myself to support either side in the Russian Civil War legitimately, the Bolsheviks were too radical and degenerate in quite a few cases, and the Whites were too disorganized, and I don't like any white army faction.

But don't you think things like the execution of Marshal Tukhachesky, the man who led the modernization of the Red Army, was a little unnecessary?

You know this conversation is comfy

Feels nice to know there's educated people here

His document of confession was splattered in blood from the torture he was put through to make him give a false confession

I didn't say what he did was good

@Deleted User support the Greens lol

Just was done

He hated being the leader

Yeah he got stuff done but was also pretty paranoid and killed a lot of people he didn't have to

There's tapes of him crying

Because he kept begging to be able to step fown

😔

Down*

He didn't want to rule

When the election happened he tried to reject it

It was quite sad really

I've never heard about this

A man broken down by power

I used to be a hardcore commie 😅

Like full on tankie

ooof

I was so tankie other tankies thought I was too extreme

I've also had other fascists tell me I was too extreme

lol

I guess I'm an extremist 🤷

yeah lol

Honestly tho

Actually

I like where I'm at now

There are a few Bolsheviks I kind of agree with

@Deleted User is Bukharin one

During WWI bolshevism was just anti Tsar and wanted to split up Russia

But Lenin kinda changed it

When Germany helped him out

Well yeah Lenin initially supported Ukrainian separatism which is why the Germans supported him so heavily because an independent puppet state of Ukraine was one of their foremost wargoals
