The Bolsheviks were at least serious. They lived in truly desperate conditions and were looking for ANYTHING to improve their lot.
Not that I think that was their best choice...

Today’s bunch are spoilt brats who what what they THINK they want - NOW. They have NO understanding of how life really works or how our system of government is supposed and CAN work for them if they would do their own homework and use it correctly.

The leadership of the Bolsheviks were all pretty much at least middle class origins. They used the plight of the 'working class' and 'peasants' to manipulate and gain power, just as our modern-day Bolsheviks use the plight of black people.
