It's the 99th anniversary of the October Revolution today /his/
What are your opinions on the revolution, the RSFSR/USSR and socialism/communism as a whole?
I admire Rosa Luxemburg so I'm quite critical of it but I'm interested to see what you think
>>1931899
Failed state. If we learned anything from it it's that authoritarian states will struggle in the era of information
[COLLAPSE]
>>1931899
Nice job of German spies.
>>1931908
(((German)))
>>1931899

>>1931949
Fool. Why go to lefty pol? It's a legit, historical question.
>>1931963
>actually admiring some literally who tier nothing failure like Rosa Luxembourg
>not leftypol tier LARPing shit
How were veterans who lost limbs on the eastern front treated by the Soviets? Pensions? Disability? Did they do a better job taking care of them than Weimar did?
>>1931986
they were treated like shit along with every one else in the soviet system.
Lenin was an idiot, soviet communism was just the same old russian despotism with new colors and nobody here has read anything by Marx other than the fucking manifesto.
>>1931949
Is leftypol a real place? Like a board on Infinity Chan?
>>1931995
I've read The German Ideology, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, Critique of Gotha and Wage Labour and Capital. I'll admit I haven't read Das Kapital yet but it's a slog.
also you forget Engels. Much better writer than Marx imo
>>1932039
yes
/pol/tards seem to hate it and tell people to go back there whenever they're challenged for some reason
I don't really like it personally, too slow and self absorbed
>>1932039
yes
it's filled with cringey suburban high school kids
>>1932051
/leftypol/ has a new crop of overzealous jannies and whenever you ask them a question about gommunism they sage bomb your thread
>October Revolution
>November 7th-November 8th
???

RA RA RASPUTIN
LOVER OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEN
THERE WAS A CAT THAT WAS REALLY GONE
>>1932069
Julian calendar you dumb pleb
>>1932059
Really? Last time i went there they were pretty laxed on banning, every other thread was baiting and shitposting
I used to roleplay as nazbol all the time, it was pretty fun
>>1932075
>nazbol
Why?
>>1932079
Wait why were the Russians using the Old Style in 1917?
>>1932077
Because it would piss them off, i used to declare myself a proud Marxist and spout easily recognizable /pol/ agenda at the same time
>>1932083
Tsarism stunted the country, I imagine. Russia was backwards in all regards in 1917
>>1932086
what does not using the Gregorian calendar have to do with being stunted?
not to say Russia WASN'T stunted, but you gnome wutimsayin n shiet
>>1931899
It was mostly Stalin's fault, but Lenin really laid the foundation for tyranny
>>1932115
I agree. It's why I can't stand Trotskyists. He would've been just as authoritarian as Stalin. Possibly more so. Kronstadt was awful.
>lenin
>stalin
>military dictatorship
Urss was a shit, but still better shit than Russian Empire.
>>1932085
Sounds like fun senpai
>>1932039
yes, its just a communist version of 4+4chans /pol/
>>1931899
Long live the Socialist Revolution!
