The Bolsheviks, incidentally, were late to the February Revolution - the real revolution, the one that overthrew the Tzar. That, incidentally was started by the 'Bread Marches' led by women. Note - marches! The very thing you are against today!
And not long after the October revolution Lenin got rid of the Factory Committees and put the bosses back in. What a change and betrayal after the heady days when the workers ejected the factory bosses by taking them out of their own factories in wheelbarrows. Literally.
Incidentally, it was police violence that triggered the poll tax riots. And it was the anarchists who fought back and defended the people not Marxist Leninists. Anarchists are the mortal enemies of Marxist Leninists. Marxist Leninists had turned up expecting a nice peaceful march. The very thing you are against today!
What next? Extoll the virtues of Stalinism?
Just look what Stalin did in destroying the Collectives in the Spanish Revolution. Lenin would have been very enthusiastic about such betrayal.
Sorry, I've got better things to be doing than talking to an authoritarian communist. Go off and preach to your gullible mates.
