It's the 99th anniversary of the October Revolution today Veeky Forums
What are your opinions on the revolution, the RSFSR/USSR and socialism/communism as a whole?
I admire Rosa Luxemburg so I'm quite critical of it but I'm interested to see what you think
Failed state. If we learned anything from it it's that authoritarian states will struggle in the era of information

Nice job of German spies.
(((German)))
go back to leftypol you LARPing faggot
Fool. Why go to lefty pol? It's a legit, historical question.
>actually admiring some literally who tier nothing failure like Rosa Luxembourg
>not leftypol tier LARPing shit
...
How were veterans who lost limbs on the eastern front treated by the Soviets? Pensions? Disability? Did they do a better job taking care of them than Weimar did?
they were treated like shit along with every one else in the soviet system.
Lenin was an idiot, soviet communism was just the same old russian despotism with new colors and nobody here has read anything by Marx other than the fucking manifesto.
Is leftypol a real place? Like a board on Infinity Chan?
I've read The German Ideology, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon, Critique of Gotha and Wage Labour and Capital. I'll admit I haven't read Das Kapital yet but it's a slog.
also you forget Engels. Much better writer than Marx imo
yes
/pol/tards seem to hate it and tell people to go back there whenever they're challenged for some reason
I don't really like it personally, too slow and self absorbed
yes
it's filled with cringey suburban high school kids
/leftypol/ has a new crop of overzealous jannies and whenever you ask them a question about gommunism they sage bomb your thread

Julian calendar you dumb pleb
Really? Last time i went there they were pretty laxed on banning, every other thread was baiting and shitposting
I used to roleplay as nazbol all the time, it was pretty fun
old style dating system
I see. Never posted there so can't say I really care though
kek
>nazbol
Why?
Duh I'm retarded.
Wait why were the Russians using the Old Style in 1917?
Because it would piss them off, i used to declare myself a proud Marxist and spout easily recognizable /pol/ agenda at the same time
Tsarism stunted the country, I imagine. Russia was backwards in all regards in 1917
what does not using the Gregorian calendar have to do with being stunted?
not to say Russia WASN'T stunted, but you gnome wutimsayin n shiet
It was mostly Stalin's fault, but Lenin really laid the foundation for tyranny
It's a sign of backwardness. Russia was cut off from the West, culturally and logistically.
kek, fair enough. What's your ideology?
I agree. It's why I can't stand Trotskyists. He would've been just as authoritarian as Stalin. Possibly more so. Kronstadt was awful.
>lenin
>stalin
>military dictatorship
Urss was a shit, but still better shit than Russian Empire.
Sounds like fun senpai
yes, its just a communist version of 4+4chans /pol/
Long live the Socialist Revolution!
