Born as Lev Bronstein in the Pale of Settlement, initially he became a Menshevik, but later joined the Bolsheviks. Already been a participant in the first Russian Revolution, he became one of the protagonists in the more famous sequel. After the demise of Vladimir Lenin, he was the suspected subsequent leader of their political party, but lost an internal struggle against Joseph Stalin: Did communism actually fail then yet?
Stalinism opposed Trotskyism, which endorses the permanent revolution coined by Karl Marx. Born as a descendant of an Askhenazi family in Prussia, he initially collaborated with Moses Hess. Together with Friedrich Engels, they fled to Brussels, where the Communist Manifesto was published. After the suppression of the subsequent February Revolution, the authors ultimately ended up in London, while the philosopher initially fled to Switzerland: Do communism & Zionism share a common ground?
Both ideologies are originally secular, though Abraham Kook later incorporated the religious aspect to the latter. His son even claimed Yahweh allowed the Holocaust as an incentive towards the creation of the state of Israel: Which cause did the Holodomor serve then in this rhetoric?
Because the winners always write the history, the adversarial Ahrimanic Powers initially denied the genocide in the granary of Europe: Did the apprehension of Raoul Wallenberg offer the Soviet Union a Trump Card?
Operation Barbarossa was actually a crusade against communism & the Cold War lasted nearly half a century. Around the year 1948, George Orwell yet wrote about the danger of totalitarian control: Does Emmanuel Goldstein personify Leon Trotsky?
After the year 1984, the policies of Mikhail Gorbachev initiated the end of the Soviet Union, but didn't eradicate communism. Vladimir Putin even agrees with Karl Marx on the topic that the second Russian Revolution could be a predecessor for the countries that label themselves nowadays as liberal. Liberalism dismantled the absolute monarchies, possibly former provincial represenatives of the biblical Tartarian Empire, while communism subsequently wants to overthrow the bourgeoisie:
- Is the NWO ushering in communism by the backdoor?
- Is it Satan misleading all nations, as described in the book of Revelation?
