"First As Tragedy, Then As Farce" Anonymous 23-04-23 21:10:08 No. 16330
"History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes." ITT We talk about all the weird historical parallels between events, movements, regimes, etc. I'll start off. >Charlotte Corday, "first as tragedy …"<Sympathized with the Girondins, a moderate faction of the French revolution <was taken aback when by the September massacres of 1792 <held Jean-Paul Marat responsible <thought him too extreme, and a traitor of the revolution <told him he had a list of enemies <showed up at his house <stabbed him in his bath tub <she went on trial <confessed, claimed to be acting alone, was executed >Fanny Kaplan, "… then as farce"<member of Socialist Revolutionaries, a moderate faction of the Russian revolution <was taken aback when the Bolsheviks banned her party <held Vladimir Lenin responsible <thought him too extreme, and a traitor of the revolution <called out to Lenin after a speech he gave at an arms factory in Moscow <when Lenin turned towards her, she fired three shots at him <he survived <she went on trial <confessed, claimed to be acting alone, was executed

>>16376 >Each time you post, you show more and more how fucking ignorant you really are. relax. it was a small mistake. I misremembered the SRs as having broken off from the RSDLP in the early days, but that was wrong. They did work with the RSDLP to boycott the first duma in 1905. My point is the "Russian Revolution" has 3 phases, 1905, February 1917, October 1917, and the RSDLP, including people who were to become Bolsheviks, were involved in all 3, to varying degrees. Before Lenin's return to Moscow after his exile, and the publication of his April Theses, RSDLP and specifically Bolsheviks were involved in the power struggle between the provisional govt. and Petrograd Soviet that emerged out of the February revolution, and they were also heavily involved in the street fighting and organizing during the February revolution. The RSDLP factions weren't just sitting around doing nothing between 1905 and October 1917.

>>16336 Another parallel:
Kerensky and the libs who took power in the February revolution after the tsar abdicated were in favor of continuing WW1, whereas Lenin and the Bolsheviks were against WW1 and in favor of a civil war.
The Girondins in the French revolution were in favor of war with Austria while Robespierre and the Montagnards were against war with Austria, favoring instead to purge counter-revolutionaries at home.

>>16330 The Napoleon/Hitler connection
Some similarities:
– Poor background and youthful ambition;
– Continued thirst for power;
– A coup d'état to achieve power;
– The goal of, in the one case, creating a new France and, in the other, a new Germany;
– The use of war to expand their influence;
– A desire to conquer Europe;
– Short lived empires, brief rule
– Autocratic rulership style
– Both driven by a desire for "national regeneration"
– A shared failure to conquer Russia ; invasions had similar characteristics;
– Attempts to defeat Britain with a continental blockade;
– Resistance to the regime: in Spain for Napoleon, in all the occupied territories for Hitler;
– Downfall follows defeat by a coalition of countries;
– The story comes to an end with their respective countries in ruins.
They differed of course in many respects but those parallels indeed stand out

>>16388 You missed one of the most interesting ones:
Hitler wasn't German despite leading Germany. He was Austrian.
Napoleon wasn't French despite leading France. He was Corsican.
Some people say the same thing of Stalin/Georgia, but that doesn't really apply, since Stalin was the "leader" of the USSR (not "Russia"), which included his home nation of Georgia.
and really he wasn't the leader of the USSR, just the general secretary of its communist party. But libs gonna lib Unique IPs: 37
