What would the world look like if Czar Alexander II lived?

[PSOL]

Radicalism will never care about "taking what you can get", its all about turning up the heat on the kettle until the pressure bursts and then in the midst of the chaos comes opportunity for the fringe to be mainstreamed.

Ultimately, this is exactly what happened in Russia.

That was not “what they could get” in Russia and the “emancipation” was ultimately empty.

Ironic how you could defend a king after what he did to the most American revolution in Europe, with the suppression and deportation to break the Polish nation that was precipitate the broken norms all up to the 1917 revolution and Soviet Union.

1. I was responding to the OP.

2. "Most American Revolution in Europe"? I do not follow.

I believe PSOL means by the "Most American Revolution" is getting freedom for a certain subclass of individuals rather than the population at large. PSOL is a Socialist, so if my memory of his views is correct the emancipation of the Serfs is similar to the emancipation of the slaves in American history where the Bourgeoise is still in control of politics and society, compared to a state where the working class would have primary control.

No, I’m going broader then that. Congress Poland was divided on if they wanted emancipation at all, and would have a party system very close to the US at this time. That Liberty baby was strangled by the cruelty of Alex2 with the mothers and fathers of the revolution sent to Siberia.
