@Qwyrdo It's about the situations and forces that the bolsheviks operated under, and how this, combined with a failure to appreciate the dangers of such, lead them down the road they took and brought around the soviet union we remember. :/

@Angle @Qwyrdo Is that also the one that talks about the USSR's impact on other socialist experiments across the globe and how that sort of... hindered the variations of that system that we tried?

@benhamill @Qwyrdo Aye, this is the one. :/

@Angle @Qwyrdo I second your recommendation, then, yeah. I really liked that perspective.

@benhamill @Qwyrdo I was actually wrong about that, they don;t really tackle the soviet unions influence going forward in that article. Though I bet they do elsewhere. :/

@Angle @Qwyrdo Ah. It's SOMEWHERE in that issue. I'm just too lazy to go back through and figure out which. It basically laid the fact that most experiments along leftist lines that humans have tried went bad in similar ways as Stalinism at the feet of an interventionist USSR sort of needing to justify its self by getting other countries to follow its template.
