    Taking over state power by raising a militia is not organizing. Even Castro famously agreed with that.

    Sorry but more circular logic is not gonna cut it. If a group of people no matter their original class decide that they are better suited to rule than others and ursurp power then they declare themselves monarchs and certainly do not represent the working class.

    More historical inaccuracies. The first people the Bolshevik purged were people that naively thought they were on the same side.

    And no, the original Soviets wanted to create self-administered communities and work-places. Taking over centralized state power makes no sense with that goal in mind.

    Again historical inacurracies. Yes obviously the Soviets opposed the provisional government. But they did not try to take it over as that would have invalidated the very idea they stood for.

    What happened after the November revolution is no indication of how the members of the Soviets really felt as the Bolshevik started purging people that disagred with them quite heavily.

    Again more historical inaccuracies. For example the “Soviets” back then were not the Bolshevik, even if they later falsely claimed to represent them and usurped the term.

    You really need lay off on the fan-fiction and self-serving election reports literally written by Lenin himself.

    You are not going to convince me with more circular logic. A system’s purpose is what the system does. Monopolizing state power is not putting the workers in power, it is the exact opposite.

    And no I am not going to do the research for you. When someone is as ignorant of historical facts as you then I am not going to do the work for you. You are not my boss, even if you claim to represent me as a member of the vanguard party 😏

    The Victor Yanukovyth government did not proposed annexation by Russia, and thus these voting results are no argument that people in these regions were in favour of such.

    And there are also many Nazis constantly seen in Russian forces, or Americal forces, or German forces… your argument is completly pointless in that regard. And by the time the Russians started their full force attempt at imperial annexation the right-wing parties were not in Government and had only a very small representation in the Ukrainian parliarment.

    China is the example of state-capitalism par exellence. So your argument is that 90% of the Chinese supposedly are in favour of capitalism? 🤡

    Again more historical inaccuracies. The provisional government was a hodgepot of different ideas and it was very clear from the start that the rural socialist party would win the proposed election (as they did). These and somewhat allied anarchist thinkers proposed ideas that went well beyond the state-capitalism that the Bolshevik endorsed, so ursurping the provisional government and taking power in the november revolution by force was clearly counter-revolutionary. Coalitions that happened after that are sham when everyone just saw what happens when you stand in the way of how the Bolshevik take power.
