Ok that's just an outright fucking lie.
The Bolsheviks didn't start "winning" elections until they'd already forced everyone into supporting them, the 1917 election featured the Bolsheviks being blown out of the goddamned water by the SRs, and getting tailed pretty hard by the Ukrainian Regional Socialist Party
All this comic does is bend history into absolute knots to try and sell an image of what a democratic revolution would look like, but the tone and telling it represents is blatantly revisionist to a fucking maddening degree.
found tsar nicholas's lemmy account lol
democratic revolution
haha what do words even mean!? I'm not even touching the Ukranian 'regional' socialist comment, fascist pig
i agree the comic is a very confused mess
