I know this article is behind a paywall, but it's really interesting. Any of you who have Jacobin subscriptions should take a look. :/

@Angle Synopsis? Abstract?

@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. :/
