I really liked their content until i stumbled across a older video called "Ukraine: The Avoidable War" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL4eNy4FCs8
This video is full of shit from a perspective of reality. It ignores russian imperialism, calls it proxy war between US and Russia (except it is democracy defending itself first from russian proxies then from russia itself), and somehow makes NATO the cause, except before 2014 it was as disorganized and weak. Also there were no promise of not expanding on east iirc. It points fair things like Hunter Biden case and the US intervention into Ukrainian elections etc. , but they are not so important, when considering why is war still going on. So I wonder if this video is shitty at facts, what if some others are as well?
What I meant is that bolsheviks were not popular nor they ever represented people of russia. And you still cant bother to read how the revolution went. Any totalitarian 'socialist' regime is not socialist, it is purely oligarchic corporcracy. Why corpocracy? Because both USSR and China busted worker unions, had hilarious elections, prevented regular people from becoming politicans or have any say. And ensured only their oligarchic circle could get to power. How is this different from authoritarian capitalist corporacy? Corporations also have planned economy, they also bust their worker union, and they also keep their people in fright of the state machine.
This kind of system is just as far from socialism as a late-stage capitalist state, and serves capitalists and imperialists.
