    Is your point that the people fighting against Tsarism shouldn't have done so? That they should've continued to suffer without complaint?

    Of course the monarchists and reactionaries are going to accuse their opponents of their own crimes, nothing surprising there.

    I don't think that's being disputed. Both the USA and Russia had incredibly violent labor histories in the late 1800s and 1900s. The main difference is that in Russia, the workers+peasants organized and won, and in the US, they lost.

    Either way this both-sidesing of violence makes no sense. You might as well demonize every just cause in history, or every person that defends themselves from an aggressor with that outlook.

    Using whole Wikipedia pages as citations is terminally lib brained. At least cite the specific wikipedia sources jfc.

    Citing "pogrom" wikipedia like you're trying to prove the concept of it exists is just the dingleberry on top of this shit cake.

    “Pogrom” was coined in Russia and became well known largely because of the Russian Civil War.

    Weird I distinctly remember reading about pogromists being one consideration for the bolsheviks in how to participate in the 2nd Duma and that was before the Civil War.

    Asking citations is how we get everyone to tell the people who know what they're talking about vs the ignorant libs who have "'common knowledge" and fuck all else. Lazy and obnoxious is the name for the lib playbook, talking about shit they half remember from propaganda fiction they pretend is the same as history.

    Also, I'm not the one making claims. When I start pulling numbers out my ass you're more than welcome to put very little effort into asking for the source. It'll take only slightly more effort from myself since I do keep some handy before I post.

    Imagine thinking you can explain the Russian civil war to a communist with your wikipedia linking ass. Go read an actual book sometime.

    Learning the term Sealioning doesn't absolve you from sourcing your claims, maybe find the time in your busy schedule learning a single concept correctly instead of having confidence that you got the gist of it from the vibes and a twenty second skim of whatever google spit back at you.
