I started with Reed’s “Ten Days That Shook the World” then managed to obtain first English editions of Trotsky’s “1905″ and his 3 volume “History of the Russian Revolution.” Recently got a reprint of Louise Bryant’s “Six Red Months in Russia,” which is in my “to read” stack. That period and what occurred is very interesting. From an organizing point of view there are a lot of tactics that still work today.</p> After seeing “Reds” when it first came out I got the urge to find out more about the revolution.

what we have now is close to the worst of all possible options.

IMO it was set up that way to favour the establishment candidates.

Those were people who had been repressed for centuries and suddenly had a chance to voice their opinion and actually have a say in the way they would be governed. Messy, loud, all those things. I’d rather see the process work that way than one person committees. The eventual outcome may have sucked but that wasn’t the fault of the common folks.</p> The vigour of the debates.
