The Sirius Revolutionary Voice (Also known as The Mensheviks)

[Capt. Henry Morgan]

I'm hoping to extend the story soon with more depth.
What I've learned of Marxism is that the workers and peasants must be slowly educated into communism. Then when they are ready must rise up against the bourgeoisie (owners) and create a new communist state. What the SD believed before Vladimir Lenin stepped in and gave his new views after writing his book.

I have learned that the Bolsheviks followed Leninism whilst the Mensheviks followed Marxism. I don't think a small group siezing power and teaching the population in communism later was his idea.

I don't think Marx so much as encouraged or wanted a violent revolution, as he just saw it as unavoidable. He also predicted that a Communist revolution in Russia was doomed to eventual failure, as Russia wasn't developed far enough to be ready for the move into Communism. Turns out, he was dead on.

As an interesting footnote, of all the countries in the world at the time of the writing of the Communist Manifesto, he believed that only Britain or the US were advanced far enough for Communism to truly succeed.
