I can understand the lib mindframe that criticizes communism. What I can’t understand is defending the people who were so bad, that the workers had to kill them and change governments. That’s kind of a red flag outside of CIA coups.
Libs love their Great Man Theory and believe that everything was fine in Russia until the evil wizard Lenin hypnotized the hapless masses into overthrowing their rightful rulers.
It’s like how they act as if the Holocaust sprang solely from the machinations of Hitler and wasn’t the inevitable conclusion to terminal-stage capitalism architected by a capitalist ruling class seeking to preserve its own power and carried out with the aid of millions of willing collaborators.

This is Rasputin erasure
Anastasia is only a slightly exaggerated version of how libs view the Russian Revolution and I wish I were kidding.
