Actually 100 years ago was not the worst. Yes it was extreme, taking down the Czar, having WWI and all that, but it got worse and really nuts after Lenin died. But you're talking about commies.

That's most certainly NOT what the political left has always been. Look at the origins of these:

Henry Wallace
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace

Wallace was possibly the best Democrat ever! Wallace was NOT a sell-out like Bernie, but was similarly ROBBED of his potential by the MIC lackey Truman who dropped the bombs after the Russian painter lady poisoned FDR so Truman could step in. Yes - fatal infighting among the left, like a couple decades later with JFK. There are the authentic left for the people - and the ruling class who own the right and want to control the left too. We don't have much authentic anymore.

But we were talking about the manufactured SJW left. Sure Russia has their movements now but as a state they're still generally anti-gay - 180 from here.

It's the same shit now too - for BOTH the left and the right: " words in favor of the workers while insane people carried their insane ideas to their natural conclusions "

The ruling class plays all who buy into their Machiavellian left-right paradigm shit.

The Bolsheviks did not take down the Czar. They overthrew a government that was going to lead Russia to democracy. Never forget this.

You keep fucking moving the goal posts.

I didn't say they did.

In 1917, 103 years ago communist revolutionaries took them out. I was correct: Russia had it's share of problems.

You blanket stated:

" What would you call the Soviet Union? They were a lunatic extreme and that was 100 years ago. This is how the left has been, ever since there was a political left. It was the same shit back then, words in favor of the workers while insane people carried their insane ideas to their natural conclusions. "

That left it wide open for interpretation and moved the discussion from the LEFT in the WEST to vaguely anti-Russia, anti-commie, and now anti-Bolshevik sentiment that you dredge up and fling around.

Either you don't understand the left or you refuse to, and either way you're deflecting to play these weird word games.

I know you can do better.

Maybe another time. I'm done for now.
