#TheKnightImpirator I am going to contradict you and the sources in terms of economics in the UK during the 19th Century. Britain was not following "Capitalism" in its economics (the control of capitol) but "Mercantilism" (Control of Imports and exports where the country imported less manufactured goods than it exported). This is partially why the British military strategy was to control the seas and sea-lanes rather than the land and land boarder; as such that we invest far more in the Navy and ships than a standing Army. It also helps when the Navy also controls the effective countries national border (the coast) but its the control of Trade which mostly pays for the navy and its ships not internal taxation.

Tariffs are probably the least bad form of taxation since you are not taxing personal income, instead you are taxing a hypothetical purchase. I strongly disagree with Milton Friedman that land taxes are the least bad form of taxation. While some might say sales tax or tariffs may raise the floor for prices, I disagree as there can always been a cheaper option even with taxation. Moreover in the modern global economy, labor is treated as a commodity and governments, such as China, use lower standards of living and subsidies in their country to syphon jobs, namely manufacturing, from the more developed west. When Smith wrote Wealth of a Nation, labor was not seen as capital and he also wrote it under the assumption of the modern and homogenous European economy not considering nations beyond Europe. Knowing that nations are willing to undercut developed nations via state subsidies, it is not unreasonable to enact a moderate tariffs to prevent a drain but not enough to impede trade

My great-grandmother and her family - Low German Mennonites living in Russia - had to flee their home due to Lenin's Bolshevik revolution. This is a bit of a buried piece of history, but Bolsheviks would come in and raid Mennonite settlements and brutalise the people - killing entire families. So, they made the risky trip - and eventually got on a ship that was taking Mennonites over to Canada to set up farms over there.

Around 1905 Alexander Bogdanov opened the first two communist universities in the world in Italy, one in Bologne and the other at Capri Island. Bogdanov was a scientist, writer and his basic culture came from the russian cosmist movment; while Lenin was jelous of Bogdanov successes, he feared to be dethroned by him (with no evidences of this but ok)..so he encouraged a political campaign against him to the point Bogdanov was forced to leave, and then he was called revisionist. Years later Bogdanov joined the comminists during the russian revolution (as like many cosmists, who after would been killed by the bolsheviks) and he died during blood experimentations. This man as others, as for me an example how Lenin was very rude and he envied the much better people who were inside the discontent movment in Russian Empire.

It must be deeply flawed character who despises peasants, yup they are not rocket scientists but most of them lived honest life through hard labour, not by mom financing their mental exercises.

I think Bertrand Russell's characterization of Lenin as the "reincarnation of Cromwell" was pretty much spot on. Lenin's orthodoxy was absolute and unwavering: he was utterly incapable of supposing that any idea Marx had was not immutable truth, or that any prediction Marx made was not inevitable. I believe he had every faith in Marxism, in much the same way as you or I might have faith that gravity will function the same way today as it did yesterday. It was a religious sort of certainty without any bounding from religious ethics. For Lenin, Marxism was pure natural science, and he never for a moment entertained any possibility Marxism could be wrong about anything, let alone perhaps seeing it for the limp wishy-washy social science nonsense that it is. You don't see a lot of that these days: even in socialist circles, it would be rare for someone to quote Marx as if that proved a point beyond what Marx himself said, no serious person would quote Marx as if to suggest that it must be true because Marx said it. In some ways, modern socialists with their postmodern approaches to truth are even more annoying, mind you, but for better or worse, they are certainly more ideologically flexible. It's a little bit hard to wrap your head around from a modern point of view that people ever thought this way, but among old school socialists it really was the way many of them saw it. Prior to the exposure of Stalin's terror and Khrushchev's speech in the west, it was common for communists around the world to conceptualize Marxist theories of capitalism, markets, labour, value, etc, as somehow every bit as predictive, natural, immutable, scientific, repeatable and empirically sound as say Newton's laws or Maxwell's equations. Admittedly, his ideas aren't half as disproven in their minds as they should be given the facts, but the rigid adherence to orthodoxy is nothing like what it was. In some ways, I have more respect for old Marxists. Their dogmatism, dangerous as it was, was more honest. They had clearer ideas, actual predictions and standards of measurement. They made falsifiable claims. Of course, such predictions (e.g. declining employment) had the notable drawback of indeed being falsified over time - they were simply proven wrong by history - which is why they replaced these claims with the postmodernist nonsense of Foucault & Friends. This re-defining of truth, obsession with power, and application of class divisions to new invented categories is even worse. Superficially less brutal, it had an absolutely corrosive effect on society; it rots young minds more irreversibly and unlike traditional socialism it even/especially preys upon people who have lived materially comfortable lives. Marxism once required an underclass to mobilize and could be cured by rising living standards, but this new socialism preys on resentment, not economic insecurity, and resentment unlike poverty is unbounded; a mind poisoned with this sort of jealousy demands the objects of its resentment be harmed.

The ethnic hatred of many of the Bolsheviks towards Russians should be considered, almost all the leadership were not ethnically Russian and the people brought in to suppress the population were a mix of imperial minorities, latvians and Chinese, while the officer class in these groups was heavily of the same background as the Bolsheviks. You might not focus on ethnic interests but many historical groups did as you know. In the civil war the red army was far more representative to Russia due to conscription and the forced induction of tsarist officers than many of the core organs of the party. It should however be mentioned that what happened was not part of any wider plan, the provisional government likely came in with western support but the second revolution was due to the provisional government being so incompetent that the bar for launching a coup was low enough to be below the water table (less far than you think in st Petersburg). Most of these people were also internationalist, Russians were expendable, they sacrificing class enemies in order to bring together the communists of the world movement was natural thinking into the 20's. Doesn't help that they were individually horrible and revolting people usually, especially the party old guard.

The funny thing was that Latvian troops were the elite of the revolution in the first stages of the civil war, mercilessly massacring rioting peasants and ragtag revolts and being used as a firefighting force to rescue bad situations, but once they were deployed to invade Latvia and do the.same thing ethnic preference kicked in and the soldiers deserted, leaving only the Russian born and speaking ethnic Latvians and Russians who had joined these units due to their prestige making up the manpower of the regiments, they quickly lost elite status. Latvian continued however to form a considerable portion of the footsloggers of the secret police, partly because they weren't deployed to Latvia, partly because they were sort after as they were not reluctant to inflict extreme brutality on innocent Russians. The Chinese were mostly military units and were used to massacre civilians and mutinying red army troops, they were good combat troops, and introduced several horrific methods of torture to the Soviets, including the famous one with the rat and the bucket. Food requisition detachments were probably less heavily ethnically skewed, as the men in them were largely allowed to loot the villages and do what they wanted to the women as long as they brought the grain back, it was a very dangerous job, the peasants understandably loathed them and would killed tens of thousands over the years, but there was never any trouble finding men for such a role.

Actually there were interventions inside ex ruzzia empire, Bolsheviks occupied majority of developed regions which were producing weapons. And they were mobilizing everyone they wanted and terrorizing everyone they wanted and huge amounts of thugs were pro Bolsheviks. They were very cruel and Machiavellian.

And to state a few facts: Capitalism and the United States WON the Cold War while the Soviet Union disintegrated under its own weight without a single shot being fired; Socialism is the obsolete ideology that failed miserably in Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Grenada, Vietnam, North Korea, East Germany, Yugoslavia, Libya, Sri Lanka, Chile, Hungary, Nicaragua, Poland, El Salvador, Mozambique, Romania, Honduras, Mongolia, Bolivia, Afghanistan, Angola, China (which has been Capitalist in everything but name since the economic reforms of 1964 by Deng Xiaoping), Russia (of course), and everywhere else it has been tried. Capitalism continues to be the best and only option while Socialism continues to be the worst, the most failed and most lethal after having caused at least 120 million deaths in less than 90 years which would translate in more than 1 million deaths per year. BTW, how come reds keep bitching about American "imperialism" but never mention Chinese imperialism in Vietnam or North Korea? Or Soviet imperialism in Afghanistan, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Hungary, East Germany or Yugoslavia? Or Cuban imperialism in Angola, Mozambique, Grenada, Nicaragua or Venezuela? Or Yugoslav imperialism in Albania? And let's finish with the Socialist prayer: If it's a Socialist atrocity, it never happened If it happened, it wasn't that bad If it was that bad, they deserved it If they didn't deserve it, mistakes might have been made If mistakes were made, that wasn't real socialism.

Well self victimisation on large scale through propaganda eventually brings you to war crime, genocide trials. Few nations went through this before.

The word "bolshevik" did not mean that they represented any parliamentary or electoral majority (though they did pretend they were the only legitimate representatives of the great toiling majority) but that wanted a maximum of radical measures (like nationalizations of all industries and agricultural activities) to be passed right from the onset, while the mensheviks wanted to start with trying a minimum of radical measures (like nationalizing a few utilities already managed by monopolies, like electricity and water), provided they be surefire, implement and evaluate before going further. The first quite accurate official translation of the Russian word was Maximalist while the Mensheviks called themselves Minimalist.

Lenin being a literal anarcho-capitalist at one point has got to be the funniest and craziest thing ever.

The factories in Russia were often very concentrated with 100s or even 1000s of workers grouped into small areas giving the impression of being numerous. These industrial centres were in St Petersburg and Moscow and some regional capitals which meant that when they were mobilised during the revolution and civil war they had a decisive influence on communications and transport. The farmers (I dislike the word "peasant") were spread more or less evenly across the empire and had very little influence on events.

"It's not about constructing something new, it's about tearing down the old, and punishing those who dared to hurt him." The only thing about this attitude that seems different from anyone who still believes that Socialism matters is that they want to punish those who disagree with them, rather than anyone who has actually done anything wrong to them. Apart from that, anything that can be seen as having a positive impact on society is hysterically attacked and degraded.

TIK, keep doing your great work !

Dictatorship being democratic was pointed out as a problem of representative democracy by Carl Schmitt. If you can take away the power from the people and give it to representatives, what keeps it democraticly legitimite has to be, that the people are identifying with its representatives. But there is no minimum number of representatives needed, thus a homogeneous society could be identifying with one single person as representative of them all. That would be a dictator in a representative democracy.

You say that the Tsarists resisted reform, but outside of Alexander III, they were actually rapidly reforming the system. You mentioned the end of the feudal system in 1861, but there was also the judicial reform in 1864 and a number of subsequent changes. While some of them were reversed by Alexander III, a ton of additional progress was made after him. If you look at the history, the facts on the ground, it seems like the more they reformed things the more aggressive the critics got, and the more violent the resistance got.
