The Russian Revolution was quite possibly the greatest |
|
moment in human history; for the first time the working |
|
class took control of both the state machinery and the |
|
means of production. In one bold move the old feudalistic |
|
mode of production was swept aside and the bourgeoisie, |
|
too weak to take control or play a productive role, were |
|
defeated also. |
|
|
|
The worldwide implications of the Russian Revolution were |
|
massive; workers the world over were inspired to struggle |
|
themselves for freedom and control over their own lives. |
|
|
|
As Trotsky said, "The success of socialist construction |
|
in our country is inseparable from the success of the |
|
revolutionary movement in the entire world" the |
|
backwardness or Russia made it even more reliant on the |
|
world proletariat to support its development. |
