22. But "bolshevik" is such a great word!
and taken in historical context, without the generations of capitalist disinformation, is so currently apropos. It is a legitimate and perhaps necessary radical response to out of control robber baron capitalism and its inexorable push toward a return to monarchical, oligarchical feudalism. It can be argued that it was Bolshevism that brought about the rise of the relatively enlightened socialist-lite governments of modern Europe.
