The Romanovs absolutely deserved a slow death in a smoky basement, and if Lenin ordered it, that only makes me respect him more.
Maybe their deaths would have been more merciful had they not had actual diamonds sewn into their clothes.

The children of billionaires will surely grow up to be as horrible as their parents should they be allowed to inherit their wealth. Should we execute the children of billionaires as well?
The only good justification for killing the Romanov children is that their deaths eliminated the chance of restoring the monarchy should the revolution fail. This is the only justification we should use on the libs when they say "noooo evil commies killed the princess."
The one time I used the restoration of monarchy justification irl a lib looked at me as if I'd beheaded a goose in front of them
Do you really think "the kids deserved it" fares any better? Because that one makes some MLs (like me) cringe too.
I wasn't implying saying "the kids deserved it" to a liberal would result in a more positive reaction.
My point is liberals will refuse to accept the necessity. They are incapable of seeing violence beyond an amorphous blob of "bad".
Yes
If a reactionary army is marching on that position and will use them as a puppet ruler, well shitty choices need to be made.
I mean. I'd probably say yeah. Dont wanna deal with that risk for really no reward.
It of course didn't. Where do you all get this thought that monarchies relied on one particular family to work? There were shit ton of aristocrats everywhere. Just pick one to be your new king? Royal families died off all of the time in European history. If Swedes can pick Marshal Bernadotte to be their king, then sky is the limit on who can become one.
