Most of the time “Global South” adequately covers it.

I’d like to dedicate our next lesson to the dark lord, Asmodeus, may he reign forever in eternal hellfire

This sounds like a job for General Butt Naked

You don’t need to wonder, deflock.org shows a ton on the island

I find it convenient that the second their policies hit a snag in the assembly they dissolved the legislature and handed power to the Soviet congress that they had full control of due to the Mensheviks and the center and right SR’s walking out. That was clearly a blunder for those groups to back the wrong horse in the Provisional government, but if the Bolsheviks truly had a mandate from the people I don’t see why they couldn’t have won a new round of elections within the provisional government framework to then enact their policies as they saw fit. They chose after all to engage in electorialism in the first place with the 1917 election, after all.

There have been plenty of peaceful revolutions. Ironically enough, a good deal of them overthrew Soviet republics.

I thought the Bolshevik support bent towards the urban proletariat whereas the SR support was from the rural peasantry

That was just an age gate, though. 20 for civilians, 18 for military men. I know of no limits based on class, land ownership, etc.

What makes you say most didn’t bother voting? More than half of eligible voters cast ballots

Would if I could. Maybe he’ll fuck off in 2029, if we’re lucky.

I know that provisional government election was not the same thing as the concurrent workers Soviets, I was illustrating a point that they didn’t even receive a plurality of the votes in that election to challenge the idea that the Bolsheviks were the most popular.

When you have a problem, call the cops. Now you have two problems!

Just what this country needs, another fascist dickwad

The Bolsheviks were so popular with the masses that they lost the election of 1917 to the socialist revolutionaires. The bolsheviks were doubled up on.

Lenin went full dictator the second the workers’ soviets didn’t vote the way he wanted, I’m good on his bs. The revolutionary vanguard acting like they know better than the actual proletariat is just the same style of oppression under new management.

Solid choice. Also !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world exists

That was propaganda under his regime, yes, but it wasn’t actually true. It’d also be ridiculous to say Hitler was a good leader because the Autobahn is a great highway.

OK, but what team are you?

Sociopaths are usually great at superlatives; flattering people is one of the easiest ways to manipulate them
