Debate Summation

Over the course of our debate we heard the Bolsheviks praise Marx and use him as a sort of flagship ideologically, and then minutes later say that he was out of place, and simply wrong given certain situations (Russia). However, Marx's entire theory was based on inevitability and the pure-nature of certain aspects of society. Yet, somehow the Bolshies managed to coerce the judicator into playing their little game of lies!

The Octobrists clung to their clearly "sold-out" identity (as a certain Bolshie said), which had pratically been proven wrong to the entire nation after the occurence of BS.

The Mensheviks (mememe) tried to argue that the nation was not already ready, while again, being fairly disproven by recent events which undeniably displayed the alienation which Marx would have said to wait until the Capitalist phase for.

Does this mean Marx was wrong? He stated there was a necessity for the Capitalist phase, but the Bolshevik revolution worked initally (while, later straying even more from Marx's path). So, in summary, the debate was rigged from the beginning (as Charlie has admitted on his summation) and the Mensheviks were headed towards failure from the start.

P.S. When the thunder has been stolen, there is no offense to be pushed.
