The difference here is twofold: One, the Tsar was rapidly bleeding power while those currently in power in America (let's call it "the system") are't. Russia just came out of several humiliating military defeats, was fresh off of the 1905 Revolution and the proceeding political violence, and had just launched itself unprepared into an incredibly unpopular war. "The system," on the other hand, is on a power high. Not only have they demonstrated their ability to fuck with the economy and people's daily lives with COVID, but they just performed a brilliantly race-bent reenactment of the Kristallnacht in the form of the George Floyd riots.
Two: The Bolsheviks had power, while the modern "right" doesn't. The Bolsheviks not only were backed by wealthy individuals in both Wall Street and Britain, but were also directly supported by Germany in an attempt to force Russia out of the war. The Bolsheviks also benefited by being the most powerful faction coming out of the February revolution, which was much more popular in the west than the Bolshevik cause. Now tell me, what power does the modern "right" have supporting them?
The Koch brothers? Russia? Does having
50K followers on Dlive count as power?
