Explanation: Many of the leaders of the early Soviet Union, instrumental in its success against the democratic socialist provisional government, the anarcho-communists, and the legitimately reactionary White movement, were purged by the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin (second in the list). He did so to present himself as the only figure of note who was a TRUE revolutionary, after the death of Vladimir Lenin (first in the list), the previous strongman leader of the Soviet Union.

Funny how everyone who had any prestige or revolutionary credentials was a reactionary traitor except for Stalin.

China just recently got done purging another batch of “counter-revolutionary traitors”. Probably purge more again, soon.

Ah, I remember the good ol’ days, before Xi, when it looked like China might have democracy in 20-30 years time, a la the dissolution of the South Korean junta.

‘Funny’ how oligarchies enable skilled political animals to become autocrats and reverse the direction of reform for the sake of the autocrat’s own power, even at the expense of hundreds-of-millions of ordinary people, and the oligarchy itself.
