It seems like this is a very important conversation for Western socialists but I really don't see much discussion regarding this. What seems intuitive to me is that the answer is probably not many, but maybe that's just owe to the crumbs we have living in the imperial core.
Thoughts?
That's what, something like 400,000 people? That's before any traction or anything spicy happening? That's pretty good honestly. The Bolsheviks had less.
.1% of the total population is like 325k. But a huge chunk of those aren't workers because they're too young or too old. A quick Google says the working population of the US is 157 million, which brings us down to 157k, spread all over the country... which is actually still a decent number of people, now that I've typed it out. Maybe I wasn't pessimistic enough initially :data-laughing:

Wasn't the Bolshevik main base of support workers in the cities though
