 | | Christmas fell out of favor again after the American Revolution, as it was considered an "English custom", and it was not declared a federal holiday in the United States until June 26, 1870. | | | Christmas is known as bada din (the big day) in Hindi, and revolves around Santa Claus and shopping. | | | The story behind the Christmas carol " Silent Night " and the story of " Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus " are among the most well-known of these. |

| | Revolution |
| | The Russian revolution was the model for many socialists this century but behind the mythology created around it were many problems, even in the early years. | | | Nestor Makhno led a anarchist movement that fought the whites and was then betrayed and attacked by the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution | | | This long overview explains why the Russian revolution demonstrates that Freedom and Revolution are not contradictory to each other but in fact both required if either is to be a reality. |

| | October Revolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The October Revolution, also known as the Bolshevik Revolution, was the second phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917, the first having been instigated by the events around the February Revolution. | | | Bolshevik-led attempts to seize power in other parts of the Russian Empire were largely successful in Russia proper - although the fighting in Moscow lasted for two weeks -- but they were less successful in ethnically non-Russian parts of the empire which had been clamoring for independence since the February Revolution. | | | With time, the October Revolution was seen as a hugely important global event, the first in a series of events that lay the groundwork for an epic Cold War struggle between the Soviet Union and Western capitalist countries, including the United States. |

| | May - the month of Demonstrations |
| | *: A short history of the Russian national anthem | | | In 1991, after the 'collapse of the Soviet Union', the new Russian Federation received a rather boring and impersonal anthem. | | | And, since parts of the Russian communists are infected by a very stupid and unnecessary antisemitism, some individuals also carried placards with antisemitic slogans (pointing out 'the Jew' and 'Putin' as the great adversaries of the Russian people), which envoked curiosity and, actually (to my relief), some loud dismay among more clear-sighted demonstrators. |

| | The Russian Revolution was led by a self-proclaimed vanguard. | | | This is a moral revolution by ordinary decent folks against the greed-heads who will stop at nothing—not even the mass murder of their own countrymen in the service of a genocidal Big Lie—to gain even more wealth and power. | | | This is the “Planetization Revolution” that was foreseen by de Chardin—a sort of “people’s globalization” that will unite the planet freely and democratically, rather than under murderous globalist tyranny. |

| | Kaiser Wilhelm II himself is thought to have expected Lenin to paralyze the Russian army through revolution and end the war on the Eastern front and he saw him only as a transitory figure that would lose power soon afterwards. | | | The Leninist vision of revolution demanded a professional elite that would both lead the masses in "their" conquest of power and centralize economic and administrative power in the hands of a workers' state. | | | His ideas of government were expressed in his essay "State and Revolution" [5], which called for a new form of government based on the worker's councils, or soviets. |

| | State and Counter- Revolution - Paul Mattick |
| | However, although World War I led to the Russian Revolution, imperialism was not the "eve of the proletarian world revolution." What is noteworthy here nonetheless is the continuity between Lenin's early work on the development of Russian capitalism and his theory of imperialism and the impending world revolution. | | | Aside from the Russian Bolsheviks, however, no vanguard party of the Leninist type existed anywhere, so that this first presupposition for a successful socialist revolution could not be met. | | | It was a sort of''bourgeois revolution" without the bourgeoisie, as it was a proletarian revolution without a sufficiently large proletariat, a revolution in which the historical functions of the Western bourgeoisie were taken up by an apparently anti-bourgeois party by means of its assumption of political power. |
