The Nazi government wasn't a revolution.
The Nazis, like it or not, basicially legitimately gained control of the existing goverment in Germany.
The apt comparison I was making between Nazism and Communism, for those that are advocating communism only, is that both systems are totalitarian, murderous, regimes, totally sullied in name, lest anyone start advocating communism.
Apparently, you must have missed that point.
I think it's arguable whether the US system is better than the British
.
My vote is for people-rule over colonialism any day of the week.
The American Revolution changed the world. It inspired the people of Europe to think that an alternative to the Ancien Regime was possible. It emboldened people to believe in the rational values of the Enlightenment philosophers.
In the case of the Russian revolution, IMO the February Revolution did replace the idiotic tsarist system with something more practical,
the mensheviks played like putty in the hands of the bolsheviks didn't they
but the October Revolution, when the Bolsheviks seized power from the provisional government, ended our chances for seeing what the end result of the new government would have been.
Well, there you go. Exit liberal socialism, enter the nihilistic terrorists that they allied themselves with.
I don't know enough about China to say one way or the other,
Moa goes down as the biggest mass murder of all time
but I will say the "killing fields" of S.E. Asia are as much a result of the clash between Western imperialism and Eastern imperialism as of economic systems.
The communist-inspired army of the gentle kingdom of Cambodiea wantonly destroy the doctors, lawyers, civil servants, and basically anyone that could read in that country in their bid to wipe out the bourgoise values that such people possessed. This is Marx's practical legacy of having his name permanently sullied- by all but those of the ivory towers of intelllegensia, of course, as I have already pointed out.
As for Cuba, I honestly can't see Castro as being worse than Batista.
In one way Bastista is better. He's dead.
