:rage-cry: no! he was assassinated by traitors!!
truly monarchists are on one of the most high grade copiums imaginable :data-laughing:
So crazy that getting killed by the opposition is a point in your favor.
It made me think of the Simpsons bit with Milhouse's dad bragging about sleeping in a racecar bed.
“Dynasty lasted over 300 years”
Oh word?
I wonder who ended it and under who? :thinkin-lenin:
fascists love to back the losers after they lose. resentment over losing is their main psychological motivation.
resentment over the expectation of loss, as depicted by lionized stories of noble loss.
fascists love to back the losers after they lose.
Hahaha. glances despondently at the rotting corpse of the USSR while shedding a single tear That's totally just a fascist thing.
yeah, this is also the world in which communism lost. and i think the lesson for the as-yet-unformed real movement is that we cannot unburn the ashes of the old world, only build the new one.
For what it's worth, I think the fetishism of dead communisms is more of a detriment than a benefit to today's left.
Created the Duma
Only after the Russian Revolution of 1905, and he dissolved it
If you're a monarchist you'd think the Duma was bullshit anyways and justifiably deprived of any real power lmao.
Well they're willingly monarchists in the year 2022, of course they have contradictions like
The duma was cool and based
Only one person should control everything
owning a fancy car = you hate the poors
owning multiple mansions, palaces, generational fortune, having millions to even "donate" = lover of the poors
doubt Lenin actually had a car, probably just the vehicle they used to transport government officials lol.

better google search result https://rttl.me/2019/05/13/the-comrade-of-ecstasy-lenins-rolls-royce/
That first link is infuriating.
He then began to enjoy the good life just like the Tsars as illustrated by this photo taken at the May Day Red Army Parade in Moscow 1918!
Dude was a well documented workaholic to the detriment of his own health because of his commitment to the Revolution, but yeah this one photo of him being driven in a May Day parade proves that he just wanted to take toys from rich people and live it up.
the Soviet government passed one of its first acts ever, with the decree of 3 May 1918 that expropriated about 2,500 cars from the bourgeois members of society.
To give an historical perspective, this predates the October Revolution by about six months
lol

They only think about socialism in bad faith so its not so much about their honest belief about what socialism is/should be, but that if they believe X they can strawman and slander socialist leaders like Lenin as hypocritical and grifters.
If you're poor, socialism doesn't work because it makes you poor! If you're rich, you're a phony champagne socialist who's betrayed the people!
:parenti:
if you want to do a grift to get a fancy car there are easier ways to do that than fighting a guerilla war for years
all people subbed to r/monarchism should be subjugated under my rule.
i promise i'll be a kind, just ruler.
now lick my shoes.
Getting exiled and then coming back and overthrowing the government that tried to exile you: Virgin
Awarding yourself a bunch of medals for "almost winning" (horribly losing) a pointless war and inheriting a 300 year old dynasty and fucking up and running into the ground: Chad
:thonk:
“almost winning” (horribly losing) a pointless war
Hey, that’s unfair - Nicky managed to horribly lose TWO pointless imperialist wars in his time on the throne :)
nothing cooler than giving yourself medals for being a big special boy
Winning is when you get stuck fighting a war in two fronts, and you lose to fucking Austria-Hungary and the late Ottoman Empire
Winning is when you underestimate the Japanese because you are racist and get your shit kicked in.
also the brilliant plan of "the japanese destroyed our fleet lets send a fleet roughly the same size all the way around the world at great expense, oh shit they destroyed that one too"
military genius he aint
also i wonder what the Polish monarchists think about Russian revanchism? has it occurred to the empire perverts that some of their aspirational empires overlap?
what the Polish monarchists think about Russian revanchism
big assumption to say monarchists might think
I think these people imagine themselves as trusted advisors and high functionaries coloured in about equal, yet separate parts, by historical fiction dramas and paradox games, because then they'd be appreciated and important at their job and it's the only way they see this stuff happening. But following that, all the intrigue, war and peace-making via boning of not-so-distant-relatives that comes with overlapping imperial claims seems pretty integral to the ideology.
Loses a war to Japan so badly that his own navy helps to organize a revolt on their return home.
donated millions to charity
The motherfucker was the Head of State, he could have ended the need for charity.
(like the Soviets did, for a time :ussr-cry: )
Poland would be even angrier and somehow even more fascist if their territory was still property of a Russian monarchy.
Even if you're unironically a Monarchist (which you really shouldn't be in 2022 ffs, grow up) there were far more competent Tzars than Nicholas II
