Still alive and well ask Bernie and his wife since they did honeymoon in Moscow in the USSR and supported the movement.
Social Democrats are in full support of the system that is as you say dead.
How about I ask you, since you're here and Bernie ain't?

Do you know what a Bolshevik is, and the role the Bolsheviks played in the development of a government that no longer exists?

Of course not. You're just parroting whatever shit they fed you in the media.

It was just a stab in the dark, I never pretended to be a Bolshevik expert, as they don't interest me a whole bunch. :)
Personally, I like to get all obsessive over the early-19th century Whigs in England. That way I can hysterically scream "Whig!" at somebody, and they just get all confused.

Face it, the people who yell "Bolshevik" just mean "bad." They haven't the first damn clue what the f*ck they're talking about.

But it beats thinking for people who find thinking a strange and scary thing.

Well I do know that the Bolshevics (people's revolution) with the Red army chased my great-grand parents out of Ukraine during the revolution, I don't know how many family members were killed in the Holodomor cleansing that followed. My great grandfathers on both sides were Cossacks that fought against them alongside the White army. Both migrated to Canada my Father's grandfather fought in Eastern Ukraine in the 1st wave, his Grandmother family were farmers on the Polish border. My Mom's both grandparents in second wave, Grandmother's dad was finishing officer training at the end of the revolution, Grandfather's dad was stationed in (both from) Western Ukraine. After Lenin's promise of amnesty to the soldiers were proven false, because of friends that took the offer was never heard from again.

The Bolshevik's was a radical arm of the Marxist social democratic labor party a movement against the crown of Russia, and for the rights of citizens of Russia. (sound familiar?)

The Bolsheviks (from Russian: bolshinstvo, 'majority'), also known in English as the Bolshevists, were a radical and revolutionary faction founded by Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov that split from the Menshevik faction of the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP), a revolutionary socialist political party formed in 1898, at its Second Party Congress in 1903.
Bolsheviks - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolsheviks

Bolshevik,
(Russian: “One of the Majority”), plural Bolsheviks, or Bolsheviki, member of a wing of the Russian Social-Democratic Workers’ Party, which, led by Vladimir Lenin, seized control of the government in Russia (October 1917) and became the dominant political power. The group originated at the party’s second congress (1903) when Lenin’s followers, insisting that party membership be restricted to professional revolutionaries, won a temporary majority on the party’s central committee and on the editorial board of its newspaper Iskra. They assumed the name Bolsheviks and dubbed their opponents the Mensheviks (“Those of the Minority”).

So what do you know about the Bolshevics? Besides Canada helping Britain in a failed invasion to defeat the Red army and kill the Bolshevic revolution?

I agree with you in the general sense, but my post above kinda differs from your narrative.

Yup, Trump is the chosen one... to bring on Armageddon. Fake Christians will believe any absurd shit these evangelicals throw at them. Ask Wally.

Not really. The preceding presentation of Jesus as somebody who commanded a brutal theocracy was at least equally weird.

Y'know, Cliffy, when Obama talked about "the fierce urgency of now," he didn't actually mean you should completely lose perspective and convince yourself this is something new under the sun.

The bible version of Jesus and the religious version are to different species. That is why I reject religion and I know that the bible is a plagiarized work of fiction. I did my homework: 50 years of it. Know your enemy.
