Alright, I know Vlad is probably one of the most beloved historical figure on this site ("He modernized Russia!" "He brought freedom and democracy to the Ruskies etc."), but let's say that the young Lenin had gone Communist rather than embracing Social Democracy (he apparently was a big fan of Marx in his teens, but eventually got turned off by the "class warfare" bits). Would the October Revolution still happen in ITTL? And if it does, what would a Communist Russia look like?
