Who was in the wrong here?
>>
>>18464786
The side that didn't cause man made famines and ban Christmas
>>
>>18464786
Jews
>>
The communists, obviously
>>
>>18464786
The communists are always wrong. Thats why they can only take over weakened and diseased countries
>>
>>18464786
the commies obviously
>>
>>18464786
Both, and for obvious reasons.
>>
>>18464804
>the side that didn’t cause manmade famines
So neither?
>>
>>18464786
Kerensky was in the wrong for fucking things up so much that the Bolsheviks were seen as a better option
>>
>>18465098
>Take over weakened and diseased country
>40 years later you’re in space
Stalin won
>>
>>18464804
More people died in famines under the Tsar
>>
>>18464786
The reactionaries, because they lost
>>
The Bolsheviks were better than the Tsars and I don't even like them.
>>
>>18464804
The Whites were made up of various factions, including socialists and communists, so it's sort of disingenuous to portray them as being backed by priests and business elites. The Bolsheviks were backed by Wall Street.
>>
>>18464786
Whites were the same leftist cucks what Bolsheviks were. But Bolsheviks were radical socialists, whites were moderate socialists. Nothing more.
>>
>>18465163
You can easily make an arguement that Russia never recovered from the civil war.
>>
>>18465386
You can easily argue egypt never recovered from the bronze age colapse
>>
>>18464804
>man made famines and ban Christmas
American puritans???
>>
>>18464786
The Reds because they changed nothing and Slavland is still a shithole today.
With a Tsar at least theyd be a shithole with "SOVL" but now theyre utterly sovlless, all the globalist shit and not even the benefits of living in Liberal Fascism like high HDI and strangely considerably lower rates of HIV.
>>
>>18465288
“Moderate socialism” in the 20th century meant land reform, which would have saved Russia from the retarded extremes of impoverished peasantry and collectivization. The whites winning and purging the retarded Tsarists would have saved Russia
>>
>>18465386
Russia never recovered from Napoleons invasion.
>>
In hindsight, tsasarists were right.
Monarchy would have been better than whatever the hell the last century in Russia was.
>>
>>18465436
The tsarists were retarded grugs who thought sucking the toes of dead orthodox saints could heal them. A liberal tsar who reformed the country would have been good but they’d never allow it just like they fought Peter the Great every step of the way.

The communists were genuinely the lesser of two evils and basically the entire world watching at the time agreed.
>>
>>18465528
>and basically the entire world watching at the time agreed.
yeah which is why every major power at the time supported the whites, and why france and britain let shitler do his thing in hopes that he'd destroy the bolsheviks
>>
>>18464786
Replace the worked and the farmer leading the reds with a couple of jewish bankers and its a fully historically accurate pic
>>
>>18465538
>supported the whites
Supported is putting it nicely.
>france and britain let shitler do his thing
Didn't Britain and France declare war on Germany.
>>
>>18465430
I mean that's blantantly false. Whereas the communists went and destroyed Russia's early industry and killed millions of people
>>
>>18464786
Russia was such a thridie shithole that a socialist state run by high IQ intellectuals was literally the only thing that could save it. People cope and say that the Republic might have worked out but it probably would’ve just devolved into corruption like every time a shithole tries to be democratic.
>>
>>18465650
The elite managerial classes were from 50% to 95% carry-overs from Tsarist days.

They started to industrialize and develop, theres a theory that without the coup things might have gone differently.
>>
Both sides were forcibly requisitioning grain and conscripts from the peasants and terrorizing the countryside wherever they went. They also both planned to eventually betray everyone that allied with them during the civil war once it was over. Both sides were also intent on invading recently independent states like poland/ukraine/etc. to force them back under the Russian yoke. They're both shit, because Russians are by their nature evil people, they only care about subjecting others weaker than them to endless state violence and intimidation. The Russian heart yearns for only one thing: to be oppressed, as long as his neighbor is oppressed as well.
>>
>>18465635
>I mean that's blantantly false.
Nope. Russia began to decline in preeminence and fell into political disarray with revolutions and assassinations the entire century following Napoleon. A lot of its problems with radicals and a sclerotic social system date back here.
>>
>>18465540
>millions of bankers fought for the red army
Smartest Tsarsimp
>>
>>18466080
>millions of the red army fought for JEWISH bankers
FTFW
>>
>>18464786
Nicholas for being a weak faggot
>>
>>18466124
Based Jewish bankers electrifying the country, mechanizing agriculture, and turning it into a superpower
>>
>>18465668
>butthurt belter flith seething
none of the separatist movements actually supported the whites, btw.
>>
>>18465668
Whites wouldnt have caused a famine after the civil war because they actually let farmers farm.
The USSR were trading gold to buy wheat in the 70 and 80s because they couldnt feed themselves.
>>
>>18466292
The Whites would have been too busy fighting amongst them selves and brutalizing minorities to run the country effectively. There would be no unified Russia
>>
>>18466276
The White Northwestern Army literally only existed thanks to the Estonians.
>>
>>18464786
both sides were exactly the same expect whites wented to be servants of germans while reds wanted to be servants of jews
russians are a servile race by nature so no one was wrong
>>18466127
already dead at that point
>>
>>18465540
Very curious that commiefags are too scared to depict their leaders in propaganda.
>>
>>18464786
Communism only takes hold in the most backward, poverty ridden, despotic hellhole countries. So clearly the tsarists were in the wrong. This mess was their fault.
>>18465098
That just means the white forces were in the wrong.
>>
>>18466825
>Communism only takes hold in the most backward, poverty ridden, despotic hellhole countries.
it can also be spread by jews like how it happened in bavaria
>>
>>18466674
wtf are you talking about retard as if Lenin isn’t the most publicized leader of the 20th century
