Eh, as you mentioned, it was deeply unpopular.

But yes. It would have.

Why would you think changing history would not change history?

The imperial powers that were direct threats to the revolution and they were already fighting, buddy, aka the Ottomans and the Germans. Hey, remind me how that worked out in the end? Did the People’s Government get a seat at Versailles? No? Had to fight a war against fucking Poland first and then get even more people killed by Germany later?

And your argument is “the decision was unpopular,” not that it was wrong.

You also find that they were not overthrown. Their political alliance was couped, like what happens in a “real democracy” when you push an unpopular policy. Even then, they supported the Bolsheviks anyways in the civil war.

Generally speaking, it’s considered rude to murder all of your fellow socialists anyways if that happens.

Describe what you consider the “third way” that isn’t capitalists owning the means of production, workers owning the means, or the state owning the means.

If you didn’t willingly ignore the sins of “your side” that’d be valid.

Meanwhile, the only criticism you launch at the Mensheviks is… They wanted to keep fighting the imperial powers?

Don’t get me wrong, it was just a bad decision, but it wasn’t, ya know, genociding fellow socialists.

I’d personally criticize them for thinking they needed to follow the traditional Marxist thought that economic liberalism was a required stage on the path to socialism.

I mean, it’s just literally what they call themselves. Sure, they lie or don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about, but that’s kind of their whole deal.

Traditionally the “Third Way/Position” is fascism. So, ultimately, kinda, but with race science.

The trick is not falling for the lie that social democracy is meeting socialism in the middle.

Social Democracy is just liberalism with enlightened self interest. Is it better than other capitalists models?

Sure. That doesn’t make it the end goal.

They’re talking about Gaza, fam. Specifically, continued funding for Israel and babbling about “realpolitik”

So white someone will make a trending post on a Linux memes community about “coonfigers” and no one has a problem with it.

Honestly looks like it sailed right over everyone’s head too. I guess that’s a good thing?

The Star Trek memes community couldn’t even stay together, it splintered under the pettiest nerd drama I’ve ever seen

“.ml keeps saying things I don’t like, defederate!”

Black people.

Maybe it is a call for ethnic cleansing and he means “black people” when he says “liberals.”

I knew a coworker who would say “Canadians” as a dogwhistle. I don’t know why, and refused to ask.

Unless

Surely you mean Neo Mexico?
