You nay have lived here but oiu do not understand our culture.
Blacks were brought over as slaves. After the civil war they were denied ther righys as citizens. It was encoded into llaws we refer to as Jim Crow.
Blacks were beten, hung, and shot with impunity.
No, it's you who does not understand russian history. You don't even know any of it. You know propaganda shit your government and Hollywood was and still feeding you.
I, on the other hand, fairly well versed in american history, considering I never studied it in school. I probably know american history better than you, because the history you were taught in school was mostly propaganda.
What is to understand?
A moarchy obertrned by a revolution.
The revoltion ended in an oppressive police stae.
There was a post revolution democracy faction. Lennon realized a rapid transformation would not work, hence the idea of the Vanguard, a core communist ideological group would guide Russia over time from capitalism to socialism to the end communist state.
Stalin got wind of communication between Lennon and modertes, some seculate Sralin hastend Lennon's death. Stain siezed power. No election, no say by the people who the revolution was all about.
When Stain died Russia was de-Stalinized by the communists. Foloed by incmetent ladership ad mangement. Famines and crop failures. Rigid social control. Post Soviets a series of inept leaders ending in Putin.
Having eliminated the middle class 'bourgeoisie' who could have run an economy Russia stagnated economically and never met basic needs, while the west developed modern technology, agriculture and lived well.
I read Marx and Trotsky's History Of The Russian Revolution back in the 70s. You remember Trotsky don't you? Sentenced to death for opposing Stalin and ended up with an ice pick in his head in Mexico. Putin's assassinations today is right in line with Stalin.
You will find Americans are probably far more knowledgeable about Russia than Russians about America. We'd rather make hot tubs and relax than make war, but we will fight.
At the college level a comparative politics class covered te major political systems, including the Soviets of the day. We are biased in favorof individual rights and democarcy and capitalism, but we can objectively assess other systems.
Were are open to change ad the USA today is nit what it was in 1800. It changes as people's views change. Today part f the political debate is about how close we want to get o soicalism.
As Marx said, the revolution doe not end. I heard it said that in some respects the USA is more in line with what Mark was preaching than the Russian communists.
This below describes our union history and labor vs ownership. A never ending dynamic balance of forces, It is manifesting right here in Seattle with a push to unionize companies like Amazon and Starbucks.
Federal law guarantees a right for labor(aka the proletariat) to collecvely bargain with management. Do Russian workers have a voice?
In the remainder of the text, Marx outlines his proposal that the proletariat "make the revolution permanent". In essence, it consists of the working class maintaining a militant and independent approach to politics both before, during and after the struggle which will bring the petty-bourgeois democrats to power.
This also in some ways describes the USA, cetainly not post revolution Russia to today.
A given existing social state called the thesis encountered opposing forces, the antithesis. The result of their collision was a new state, synthesis, a higher resolution of this earlier conflict.
This is just off the top of my head, I'd have to do a review to go deeper.
Do you have any pals who could post here?

1. Are the Russian people better or worse for the war?
2. Is Russia more or less influential for the war?
