I'll respond to @Radical_EgoCom about state violence, terror, and terrorist states. I'll post about Leninism, Stalinism, and other kakistocratic systems like Putinism, which are among my research interests. I've posted about Soviet era from 1905 to 1917: https://mastodon.social/@homohortus/113808045559829515 It explores Soviet evolution from grassroots workers' councils to instruments of Bolshevik power. @sz_duras @gpilz @tofol.bsky.social @cccp.bsky.social #PoliticalHistory #SovietEra #Kakistocracy
