The article explicitly states that it is cherry picking from a larger historical account.

I've read a bit of 200 years, it's not exactly neutral on Jews, i.e. my impression, assuming Solzhenitsyn was honest, was they were a net pain in the ass for Russia. I think that about sums up my opinion of Jews. I like a lot of them but their net effect on America is extremely negative.

The Tsars are a blundering sore of history. The picture of ineptitude. Any self respecting person would rightfully revolt against those idiots.

OK, that's ONE country Jews were no problem. Now do the other 108.

Get serious. You do realize the ridiculous nature of your reply? We need to talk specifics not a complete over generalized "what about". Statement.

OK, let's do specifics. What would you like to discuss?

You seem to be suggesting that Bolshevism was "better than the Tsars" which is a bullshit false dichotomy.

No. Just saying they and the many groups that worked to overthrow the royalty were mainly justified.

Americans overthrew their monarchy and replaced it will something much better, not way fucking worse. That's the difference.

[–]PunisherStickerGuy 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

We'll agree on that. (Angel gets wings somewhere).

Look, I'm gonna wrap this since I don't have time for a complete historical survey or to translate a book written in Russian. Just remember we have the advantage of historical perspective and that folks were living in an extremely oppressive society under the monarchy. The ideas of the Bolsheviks were just that, new ideas proposed as an alternative to ultra rich assholes ruling over them. Sure, it failed, but it's easy to judge from our perspective on it modern age without experiencing what they were experiencing.
