Nations in their modern form all exist because of capitalism. Israel is actually "special" in that way, because it's the Wests last mostly settler-colonial project, which results in all kinds of strange and anachronistic contradictions.

    Also their popularity in the countryside suffered only really due to them collectivizing the land after passing a land reform that created a owning farmers class out of a population of feudal serfs, who obviously had the interest of holding on to that newly found land ownership the Bolsheviks granted them.

    Before they took over, more than 75% of the population couldn't even read, so how would they be able to think for themselves and be mobilized by a party whose main organ is a newspaper?

    But what am I even doing here, you obviously don't know your history and are not interested in learning.

    What the fuck? The Bolsheviks were incredibly popular, especially in the cities, which led to them leading the socialist revolution as the vanguard.

    Why do liberals love their anti-communist historical revisionism so much?

    That's not what imperialism is. Imperialism is a developmental stage of Capitalism that is defined not by the "existence of an empire", but by very specific traits. You're talking nonsense in this entire thread.
