It's almost as if everything read, seen and heard Media wise is taking a play from the year 1917.
Al least some of it is being called out (the phrase we has no bullets, no ammo, weak military from previous admin's) as Russia was burdened with having a very weak military because of trade routes being taken by the Ottomans.
Food shortages, Propaganda (MEDIA) from those wanting disorder [communists, Germany].
The difference is it isn't conventional warfare- it's informational and/or biological.
It isn't Industrialization/Inflation causing the low wages in urban areas, it is the Medias/Bad Actors use of Technology instilling fear, spreading fake news and lies to get people on their side.
Somewhere there is a Manifesto out there, wonder who wrote/is still writing it…It truly is something the likes anyone hasn't seen since 1917.
