A political pamphlet titled "THE 'HORRORS' OF BOLSHEVISM," published by the Workers' Socialist Federation. The content satirizes the negative portrayal of Bolshevism by showing a table with an aristocrat who has a huge pile of food and drink <br />along with a peasant with measly portion across from him. The bottom shows two peasants across each other at the same table sharing everything equally.

'The "Horrors" of Bolshevism' — British postcard (ca. 1919) published by the Workers' Socialist Federation.

@Trav I lived in the Soviet Union under socialism, and I understand the communist ideas that we were working towards. If not for the traitors in the Central Committee of the Communist Party, we were now a head above China. Capitalism by its nature is like an Uroboros - it devours itself. Time will pass and you will see everything with your own eyes.

Neither the Soviet Union nor China ever really implemented Communism as per its original ideals, both turned into Imperialistic Authoritarian Police States that simply used the word as a justification for its actions. The Same way that American Democracy did not reach full Representational Democracy until the Obama Administration, only to lose a short decade later, now slipping into a similar Imperialistic Authoritarian Police State (and perhaps worse sliding into full on Nazism).

@Joseph Teller do you think, that if given the chance, that you would have fared better?
