    Nothing I have said is historically inaccurate. The Bolsheviks opposed cadets, mensheviks, and other groups that wished to retain the Tsar’s colonies, wanted to prolong the war, and opposed Soviet power. The Soviets were a connected system, itself a state. Overthrowing the provisional government and solidifying the Soviet state as the only state does not oppose their purpose in the slightest, and it was a decision democratically approved.

      More fan-fiction and post-hoc justifications. You seriously need to read some historically accurate accounts of what happened at the time.

        I have read historically accurate accounts, though you define historical accuracy by it not being written by anyone succeeding. I’ve also asked for sources, and you haven’t brought any beyond linking the anarchist library.

          History written by the winners is ok according to you as long as you agree with it. That is really funny.

            Nah, history is written by both winners and losers. What’s important is historical accuracy, and which class’s perspective and outlook is being presented. Equating socialist historiography with bourgeois historiography is a false equivalence.
