What did the bolsheviks want specifically?

Question

HELP!!! please

Answer 1

Don't listen to Kaps "answer". It is conspiracy theory garbage that is floating around on the internet with no real primary source documentation whatsoever. The slogan of the Bolsheviks was "Peace, Land, Bread". So, Lenin and the Bolsheviks firstly called for the ending of Russian involvement in World War 1, which they accomplished fairly quickly. Land; under Lenin's leadership the Bolsheviks wanted to redistribute large tracts of unused land held by the nobility and the wealthly to poor peasants; but unfortunately under Stalin collectivization occured instead.



The Bolsheviks, in Lenin and Trotsky's writings time after time called for the placing of the economy and state directly under workers' control. "Soviets" were originally actually workers' councils - factories and other work places in urban centers would elect representatives in the revolutionary days to municipal councils and decide policy or their course of action in 'soviets'.



In Lenin's "The State and Revolution" he says that the capitalist and imperialist state is the ultra wealthy 10% of the population oppressing the 90% majority of peasants, workers and petty bourgeoisie. Lenin believed a "semi-state" was necessary after the revolution to stop counter-revolution - this meant the 90% of the population, workers/peasants/petty bourgeoisie taking on the functions of the state themselves and oppressing the ex-ruling class - this is also what Marx meant by the "dictatorship of the proletariat". What actually happened though is that the vanguard of the revolution - the Bolsheviks converted themselves into a new ruling clique after the revolution - this was due to the civil war and deteriorated state the centuries old Tsarist regime left Russia in and also - Stalin and his cronies took advantage of the situation and politically out manuevered essentially any opposition from the right or the left.



Lenin and Trotsky believed that mass industrialization of Russia was necessary for Russia to "catch up" to the West (USA, Britain, Germany, France) in terms of industrial infrastructure and industrial output - Stalin actually accomplished mass industrialization in the 1930's with a series of "5 year plans"; when the capitalist countries were writhing under the Great Depression the Soviet economy's GDP was actually growing up to 30% a year; Stalin borrowed this idea from Lenin and Trotsky of course.



Finally, a major idea of the old Bolsheviks was that for the Soviet revolution to succeed it needed to be an international revolution as only the combined wealth and resources of the whole world planned harmoniously from below could yield the high living standards sought after by the pre-Stalin Marxist-Leninists. To accomplish this purpose the "Comintern" of "Third Communist International" was created as a way of perpetuating worker and peasant revolutions.



I hope that helps - if you are asking this for your own knowledge then read my comment, and the other conspiracy guys and try to see how valid his sources are, if you are doing this for school then pay no attention to his because there are no facts behind them and I rather have been studying the actually history of this time period for about 10 years.

The Russian revolution was financed by Jacob Schiff, a 33rd degree mason (http://www.bible believers.org. au/33rd.htm, chairman of the banking house Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and a minion of the Rothschilds, who took care of the contacts between the "revolutionary movement in Russia" and B'nai B'rith. (Gerald B. Winrod, "Adam Weishaupt - A Human Devil", p. 47.) (http://www.redicecreations.com/ specialreports/2005/08aug/sovietrisefall.html). On March 27, 1917, Trotsky a prominent freemason led 300 well-trained Jewish Communists aboard the Norwegian steamer "Kristianiafjord" for a journey to Sweden, and then via railroad, went through Sweden and Finland to St. Petersburg in Russia. Trotsky's group included revolutionaries, PR men, etc. Their purpose was to finish the Russian revolution and establish a Marxist government under the leadership of Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky. Schiff gave this group $20 million in gold. In 1917, Rothschild,Natan Meyer (Anglo-German financier. Emulation Lodge No. 21.) directed Lenin to replace Kerensky. Lenin, joined by Trotsky and 300 Jews from New York, depose Kerensky. On April 22, 1918 Czar Nicholas II and the Royal Family leave Tobolsk for Moscow. On April 30, 1918, the Bolsheviks took the Romanovs off the train in Ekaterinburg. From May 1 through July 17th, the Romanovs lived in the Ipatiev house, Ekaterinburg. The group knew that White Russian army was trying to rescue the Romanovs from the Red Army, and had to act fast. Once the peasants realized they were swindled, they would re-install the Romanovs. Yankel Sverdlov (né Solomon) sent the order to Yurovsky to kill the Royal Family.

IPATIEV HOUSE, EKATERINBURG, URAL MOUNTAINS, RUSSIA, Night of July 16/17 1918, the last Emperor of Russian Royal family was awakened around 2:00 am, told to dress, and led down into a half-basement room at the back of the Ipatiev house; Present with Tsar Nicholas II, was his wife Alexandra, their 14 year son Tsarevich Alexis, four daughters Anastasia, Tatiana, Olga, and Maria, the Tsar's personal physician Eugene Botkin, his wife's maid Anna Demidova, family's chef, Ivan Kharitonov, and footman, Alexei Trupp. A firing squad consisting Yurovsky, Medvedev, Nikulin, Yermakov, Vaganov, all Jewish Cheka assassins had been assembled and were waiting in an adjoining room, When the empress and the heir were seated, the executioners filed into the room. Yurovsky announced to them that they had been condemned to death by the Ural Soviet of Workers' Deputies. A stunned Nicholas asked, "What? What?" and turned toward his family. Yurovsky repeated the order. The Tsar said, "You know not what you do," paraphrasing Jesus's words on the cross. The executioners then drew revolvers and the shooting began. Nicholas was the first to die; Yurovsky shot him multiple times in the head and chest. Rest were cut down in a hail of gunfire in a half-cellar room of the house, Anastasia, Tatiana, Olga, and Maria survived the first hail of bullets; the sisters were wearing over 1.3 kilograms of diamonds and precious gems sewn into their clothing, which provided some initial protection from the bullets. After the shooting ended, Yurovsky and two guards stayed and undressed the girls, so as to check for hidden jewels. Jewels hidden in their corsets had deflected bullets, and they were still alive. Yurovsky let the guards take 'Liberties' with the girls. The girls were later stabbed with bayonets and then shot at close range in the head.



Writing on the Wall: The Heine Quotation;- Lines adapted from the Jewish poet Heinrich Heine (1797-1856) were found written on the wall, in the basement of the Ipatiev House, where the Romanovs were shot and bayoneted. It reads: "Belsatzar ward in selbiger Nacht/Von seinen Knechten umgebracht," "Belsatzar was, on the same night, killed by his slaves."



Belshazzar — the Gentile king of Babylon who, in the Old Testament story, saw "the writing on the wall" foretelling his destruction (Daniel 5) - was killed as punishment for his offenses against Israel's God. In a clever play on the Heine quotation, the unknown writer, almost certainly one of the killers, has substituted "Belsatzar" for Heine's spelling "Belsazar," in order to signal even more clearly his intended symbolism. The Heine inscription described the racial/ethnic character of the murders: A Gentile king had just been killed as an act of Jewish retribution.



In 1990, Moscow playwright and historian Edvard Radzinsky announced the result of his detailed investigation into the murders. He unearthed the reminiscences of Lenin's bodyguard, Alexei Akimov, who recounted how he personally delivered Lenin's execution order to the telegraph office. The telegram was also signed by Soviet government chief Yakov Sverdlov. Akimov had saved the original telegraph tape as a record of the secret order.

Lenin & Yakov Sverdlov, (Yankel-Aaron Solomon) who co-signed execution order were Freemasons. Lenin was a freemason of the 31st degree (Grand Inspecte
