Wait a minute, you think the liberals ruined the February Revolution, buddy, the socialist leadership wasn’t even there for it. What next? Calling the makhnovists libs?
I’m a socialist in favor of left unity, but you need to touch grass, make friends with people who disagree with you, then go back and try to figure out who betrayed Marxist ideals in November of 1917.
Holy shit why is every .worlder so aggressive? I don’t know how you derived such a conclusion from my original comment, so let me explain:
Proletarians, soldiers, peasants and so on overthrew the Tsarists, and in this popular front of sorts proletariat had demands for the liberal provisional government, such as Russia’s withdrawal from WW1, land and labor reforms - things of that nature. The provisional liberal government failed to meet any of that (either via stalling or evading action), and they also didn’t withdraw from the war, and these reasons definitely contributed to November revolution.
Simplified to not make it too long, but that’s the core point - nothing to do with Marxist ideals.
They’re aggressive because they’re smug. They think neoliberalism is the only rational way of thinking.
Anything else that says otherwise, like history, economics, science, social studies, is somehow a personal attack to them. They’ve made neoliberalism a religion.
.world would rather have everyone here be a insufferable liberal who wants nothing but electoralism but will make no concessions to win the popular vote. Fascism brings in good money after all.
