Document Summary
1st revolution - moderate one lead by the mensheviks - want to keep russia at war, keep the czar in power but want him to reform. Turn it into a british like state - have a constitution. Bolsheviks- - radicalization begins - means big, not the big party - are the minority but act big. Spirited by karl marx (19th century german writer - did not live to see the revolution). Idea of marxism is the working class - the people that carry it out are rich, not working class: marxism problematic - international revolutionary idea - not specific to race, ethnicity. International struggle predicated on the working class - most of the soldiers middle class - go home shell shocked from the war to no jobs, no food - become revolutionary. 2nd: marx talked about there being no god - religion is the opiate of the masses - talking about judeo-christian.
