Thanks for sharing this. The utter contempt with which the Bolsheviks are treated in official reports from on-the-ground professionals like Schuyler is illuminating.

Our support for the Bolsheviks will go down as one of the most heinous acts of ignorance and hubris in history. I think it will only be exceeded by our support for Mao.

What role did stolen elections play in the Bolshevik revolution? I've spent a lot of time researching our elections and come to the depressingly undeniable position that election fraud is rampant in all 50 states. Could the Bolshevik revolution been stopped by focusing all resources on honest elections?

There was almost certainly voter intimidation that helped the rise of the socialists in the February elections, but when the Bolsheviks took over in October it was purely through force.

Its amazing how organized the radical leftists are today. Its amazing how they couldn't fight the Bolsheviks because of a lack of organization and apathy.
