Lenin called his faction The Majority because he won a vote on a policy position. Once. His rival Martov thought this was funny and silly and started calling his own (read- the rest of the Party) The Minority instead, even though they were the larger of the two. Martov was the classic "nice guy with no political sense".

"My theory of collective owmership is like your mother."

A point regarding the July demonstration which led to the crackdown against the Bolsheviks: this was an armed demonstration started by parts of the garrison demanding that the Sowjet, which was then led by the Mensheviks, take power as the legitimate government. The Bolshevik leadership tried to prevent this demonstration as they did not feel it had adequate support, but it was impossible and so the Bolsheviks reluctantly joined. However, all they ever did was camp out in front of the Sowjet building for half a day or so. I think this is an important consideration in that the Bolsheviks weren‘t in direct control of the Revolutionary elements in the working class, but that those elements arose and grew independently of them, but increasingly turning to the Bolsheviks as it became obvious that not relief was coming from the other parties. It is also notable that in this situation, it was the Bolsheviks essentially calling for the Mensheviks to take power, and the Mensheviks not only turning them down but labeling them as terrorists and enemies of the state for their trouble. Remember, all they did was join in a demonstration and raise demands. This also shows what an impossible situation the Mensheviks put themselves in, as they were essentially opposed to the Soviets as a form of government, and yet their own power was wholly based on the Soviets and quickly evaporated once they lost control of them, while in the meantime, the Soviet even under Menshevik leadership was constantly acquiring government functions despite attempting to pass all authority on to the Provisional government.

very reminiscent of the SPD being bellicose towards the KPD in the interwar era and in the time of rising fascism in Germany. social democrats are always such fools

The issue with the Mensheviks is they were a bit too entranced by orthodox marxism, which meant they were convinced the natural march of history was on their side, which made them excessively passive. Feel bad for them though, they were basically nice people - you can see their fundamental niceness even very early on the initial split in the Bolsheviks.

Actually Anarchiest can't be left or right in the classic sense. Left and right are different ideologies that boil down to 'what the governement should do for whoom'. Anarchism on the other hand is literally the posotion that there should be NO governement at all. And when you are of the opinion that governement should never, under any circusmtance, exist, then you can't have an opinion of what that nonexistant government should do. The main problem with both Modern and Historical Anarchist Groups/Movements is that they were technically mislabeled as Anarchist, with most of them beeing some variation of Libertarian/Minimalist that wanted the governement to do a few specific things and otherwise be as small as possible.

@@larrian3846 While I am not a true expert at the detail level, the basic definition of anarchism, left and right as used for politics are clear enought and fast to look up. As said before, left and right used in the political sense reference various ideas/directions that people want the governement to act. The basis of anarchism on the other hand is literally the idea to abolish all government. Although admitedly there has been an absolutely enormous amount of misuse of the term to this day. Plus the fact that oftentimes two things get mixed together, namely what people want and what they realisticialy hope to achieve. A.k.A a person might wish for anarchy, but sets some other e.g. left-wing political goal as a 'if we can't have anarchy, lets at least get this' It's a bit like the difference between e.g. Christians, Bhuddist etc. and Atheists. The first are various different religions, while the last is the absence of ALL religion. And while there are plenty of cases of either simple mislabeling, throwing together non-governmental stuff with anarchism (e.g. anarcho-capitalism, combining the absence of government with unregulated capitalism), or different levels of goals as described before, any actuall anarchist idea/goal can never be 'inherently left/right/center'. Or any other flavour of governmental direction/basis. TL;DR: look up the basic definition of anarchism, then be annoyed to reallize that it's almost as openly misused in comon and even professional use as socialism is the USA

If by communism you mean, the society with no state, no classes, no markets, no money, no wage labor, No private property that Marx advocated or predicted After the overthrow of the bourgeoisie, clearly it was not communism. The NEP had all of those things. Lenin’s idea was that they would operate under the control of the state, so that exploitation would not get out of hand and a ruling class would not emerge from market operations and political corruption. They could run their own farms for their own small profits, selling all their produce to the USSR Government. This was to give farmers incentive to grow more food (and to ease the bureaucratic burden on the USSR).

2:48 that is one trollish map of Georgia ;)

The SR were the major faction in number until the bolsheviks dissolved the constitutional assembly and dissolved the party gradually through 18-21. It played a major role, often dismissed by everybody, organizing the revolution in the countryside. The bolsheviks and mensheviks disputed urban areas and were far more organized as parties, but the sheer numbers were with the SRP

(spinning three plates), cracks me up every time I hear the name after the videos, I don't know why tho. lol

Could you do a video on schotland and England and who has been in each others territory more over the years?

Why did the Bolsheviks win? 0:35 The first, led by Vladimir Lenin, was the Bolsheviks meaning majority. Rolls credits

Trotsky wasn't even officially a bolshevik at the time, he just sat on all their meetings and organised a big chunk of their propaganda...

This question has tormented my studies of this event for so long. Thanks for anwsering it.

I can't be the only one who let's out a little laugh at the 'silly man' bit,can I?

I wasn't expecting a decent, historically accurate description of those events on a random KZread history channel. Thanks for the entertaining video

2:14 finally an army of more than 2 soldiers!

As always because Mensheviks hadn't any plan to eliminate others.

@history matters Next time tick to generate the sub when you upload video onto KZread, it's helps greatly, especially for those non native English speakers.

Thanks, The Pastry Section, Spinning 3 Plates, Sky Chapelle, and the rest! Oh, yeah, that first guy, too.

I wish this guy was my history teacher

You should make a video about the anarchists in the russian revolutions, Makhnovia.

2:46 this map of Georgia is incorrect.

I love how this channel's weird art style makes the regular Mosin rifles look like fucked up chopped down obrez guns
