Youre just trying to justify not voting for Harris! This is all your fault! No you dont understand, they had no choice but to discard literally every popular policy! Stupid traitorous left!

@bubblybubbles Having read some books myself I can't help but bring up the betrayal of the non-communists after the revolution, notably the murder of anarchists, as pointed out by Emma Goldman and others (in exile).

Emma Goldman (and others) who were in exile because instead of organising with workers in America, they were busy deciding what the workers should be doing and going around blowing shit up.

Honestly unsurprising that someone as smug as you would like Emma Goldman's writing, she's as smug and pompus as any modern anarchist twitter acedemic. Tell me more about how you think workers have no autonomy and are lead like sheep by like 1 spoopy bad guy

of non-bolsheviks*
They outlawed every communist/socialist/anarchist organization that wasn't them, and then, when there was no other party to kill, they started killing their own, but you are probably in the wrong instance to bring that up.

Not really true. The Bolsheviks won out in the Russian civil war, and afterwards some groups took up arms against the socialist state, and were thus killed off. The people by and large supported the bolsheviks, the terrorist cells were not really supported.

Despite their name, the Bolsheviks weren't the majority of the revolution. But there was a group that indeed took up arms against the Socialist State, it was the Bolsheviks, which represented only about 13% of the delegates for all the other socialist parties had way more people and support. After staging a coup and taking the control, every other group became a "terrorist cell". It's easy to be the majority when you murder the rest.
