Radagast2072comments: A very good explanation of the facts - not fiction - of the Russian Revolution
likes: The exposure of the fact that any concessions by the Bolsheviks in the 1920's would've brought the capitalists back topower.
don't like: You've forgotten to mention that, most likely, a restoration of bourgeoisie rule in Russia in the 1920's would've ended up with a Fascist police-state like it did in other failed revolutions (Germany, Ital, Spain, Chile)

Seancomments: Lenin's reason was "oppositional trends would have made promises to the peasants which would have been extremely unrealistic but which would have been believed." Which is to say "the people could not be trusted to make decisions in their best interest, and so the right thing to do was work for them - even if that meant against the popular vote." The theory here being government *for* the people, not government *by* the people. It seems obvious how this government *by* the people, where popular opinion is seen as secondary to bolshevik opinion layed the groundwork for Stalin.
question: I agree with Lenin's theory (i.e. the principles he laid out), and I agree with the predicted outcome in Russia if the Bolsheviks fell, though I still disagree with Lenin's application of his principles. Do I qualify as a Leninist?
likes: It is well written.
don't like: It lacks a libertarian spirit - i.e. it is first a Leninist article, second an anti-authoritarian [i.e. democratic] article.
