The Bolshevik Communists didn't even unite with the Mensheviks, when they overthrew the Czar, and won the counterrevolutionary civil war against 20+ foreign armies. Let alone the kulaks. Your thinking here is antithetical to Communism | Revolution | Bolshevism, etc.
"Leon Trotsky addresses the Red Army and other spectators in Moscow on May 1st, 1924. The large banner on the left reads," 'Proletariat of all countries still under the rule of the old world, join us on this first of May. Our Greetings.'

🤨 Liberal students on campus who oppose communism are essentially aiding the actions of the administration and law enforcement. Despite any disagreements one may have with the British RCP, it is appalling to forbid their involvement in future pro-Palestinian gatherings. 😕
SCCP Encampment for Gaza has applied an indefinite ban on members of The Revolutionary Communist Party at the encampment.
This is due to their distasteful decision to co-opt the camp to further their agenda, rather than placing Palestinian liberation.
"Karl Liebknecht’s Words"
By John Reed c.1919
WHEN I was in Berlin in December, 1915, I went to see Karl Liebknecht. He had an office in a district Social Democratic headquarters, in the poorer section of the city—on a street, I remember, which looked very like Washington
An historical warning to "MAGA Communists;" Red Brown Alliances end like this. Technically, the SA was the original alliance of reactionary interests. The SA were foolish enough to believe the 'dog whistling' propaganda of the NAZI Party's lies. Promised a Berlin May Day parade,
30 June 1934. Hitler’s violent purge of political rivals known as “The Night of the Long Knives” began. It took place from 30 June-2 July 1934, and involved a series of extrajudicial executions to weaken the power of the Stormtroopers led by Ernst Röhm and conservative opponents.
Leon Trotsky's armored train, a massive armored rail cruiser was staffed by the Red Sotnia, the Red '100', elite and red leather dressed soldiers who defended Comrade Trotsky, his staff, and his armored train.

🤔Is Nikolai Lenin the same person as Vladimir Lenin? 😀Yes, they are one and the same! The man known as Lenin's birth name was actually Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. In order to protect themselves from the Tsarist Secret Police, many politically active Russian emigrants in Europe
