i want to be pedantic for some reason

the tsar abdicated, and went into house arrest while still under the february 1917 revolution, which was not really communist. the communists overthrew the liberal provisional government in october 1917. america for example was OK with the february revolution, but not the october, because the communists of the october revolution wanted to pull out of WW1 against the germans, but the february revolution did not.

Well, the CPC didn't overthrow the Qing dynasty either. They didn't even exist under like a decade after Qing was overthrown.

This meme just sucks lmao
