*“The hens are enraged, as they all plan to raise spring chicks, so they rebel. Hens lay eggs in the rafters at first, but Napoleon cuts their rations”* -Animal Farm
The people, workers, sailors of Kronstadt were revolutionary socialists and anarchists. They organized everyone and armed everyone for democracy. This March is the 100th anniversary.
They might have been, but the leaders were Anti-communists and capitalists who wanted to destroy the Soviet Union. They had to keep their true goals secret from many of the grunts because there was no popularity in actually restoring capitalism.
@@benjaminrobinson7203 They could have been Fascist double agents. You still don't do what the bolsheviks did to Krondstadt. So there goes your reasoning.
this is what you do when you are unhappy with your leadership. You don't go out in the streets to block traffic with silly signs. I came here because I lived in brasov, also known in german as kronstadt, which was named like that for some reason... and it's in transilvania (romania). This video barely told me anything.
@@patrickpastor8041 No, the Bolsheviks didn't take the revolution far enough. War communism and red terror, like the Jacobins' national mobilization and “reign of terror”, were primarily aimed at triumphing over counter-revolutionaries. But by establishing a “revolutionary order”, the revolutionary masses were stangled out of their rights and freedoms, exhausting the revolution of its fuel while arming a bureaucratic organization as the new ruling clique of state economy. Afterwards, when professional revolutionaries squeezed empty the revolutionary masses, nothing can hold up the “revolutionary order” any longer against reactionaries inside out. The Jacobins refused to concede to reaction and were in turn killed by Thermidorian reactionaries; the Bolsheviks, learning from history, chose to become Thermidorians themselves: by slaughtering activists among masses (Kronstadt), consolidating their bureaucratic state machine (ban on factions), and capitulating to reactionary demands (NEP), they effectively ended the Russian Revolution (8 March 1917 ~ 18 March 1921).
@@熊唯嘉 Personally, I don't really align with any of the 1917 parties - there weren't really any social-democratic parties. The closest to my views would be either the Right SRs or Kadets.
Nah, it didn't. The Krodstadt sailors were the true Socialists of the revolution, ever heard of the Krodstadt rebellion? The Krodstadt rebellion was a mutiny against the Bolsheviks in 1921. The sailors weren't really big supporters of the Bolsheviks anyway, they favoured more Anarchistic ideas of the Makhnovists in Ukraine.

Animal Farm is a such great and important work. Too bad Americans simplified and watered its message down to "communism bad".

@@shawn8847 so wait, let me get this straight. You're saying that even if they were fascists, they shouldn't have been destroyed? (They were fascists)
@@shawn8847 no everyone was fine except the leaders of the mutiny . Watch finbol’s video on Kronstadt
@@benjaminrobinson7203 the Kronstadt sailors were capitalist? That makes me love them more!

It's spelled Kronstadt.
That's how some people spell it; it's not technically wrong.
Kronshtadt is the transliteration from the Russian name Кроншта́дт.
i mean i dont rly care i just like the effort they put in
@@熊唯嘉 I’ve since found out. It’s weird though
Amazing, we must take lessons from this for the next revolution.
That would be a disaster for you. The Kronstadt Rebellion turned their guns against the Red Army.

Yep, the Bolsheviks were counterrevolutionaries
@@Unknown-eg5xz They weren't counter-revolutionary. They took the revolution too far.
