His take is basically "Lenin, was a brilliant guy but he didn't consider that Americans would be scared of savage foreigners representing communism". It's especially bad given how they've emphasized how the failure of the German Revolution was such a blow to the global movement. Moscow being the heart of global communism is unfathomably scary for Mayo Americans, but Germany, a country the US was literally at war with in 1918, which has significant industry that Capital would have tried to claw back, would have been less scary..... Also the idea that Americans are terrified of socialism from the "non West", but would have fought a continual war with southern Slaveholders to give black people rights in the south if only a more forceful President had replaced Lincoln.
This series has revealed that Matt is just a Blue MAGA Redditor at heart. Every episode concludes with the idea "wow, things would have been so much better if we just would have had more Progressive politicians elected". Wow, great stuff. Might be time for him to retire honestly.
I've exaggerated a bit, but so far in the Hinge Point series he's put out 2 episodes talking about how actual revolutions were doomed to fail anyway and might have hurt, and 2 episodes about some b.s. palace intrigue around who was the Vice President of the USA and how it totally would have made the pieces line up or something.
I get his criticisms, but complaining about Russophobia hurting the global movement is asinine coming from a guy who thinks that replacing Johnson as Lincoln's VP would have radically changed everything. The America America America stuff is so lib.
