SO I SEE YOU ALLOW NO EDITS TO YOUR "FREE" ENCYCLOPEDIA WHICH IMPUGNS THE "GLORIOUS HISTORY" OF THE GODDAM BOLSHEVIKS WHO MURDERED OVER FIFTY MILLION PEOPLE?!

Bolshevik (Russian for "majority") is the name given to the faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party led by Vladimir Lenin, formed at the Second Party Congress in 1903. The other faction was known as the Mensheviks, meaning "minority". Shortly after the Bolsheviks seized power during the Russian Revolution of 1917, they changed their name to the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks,and then at the 1952 Party Congress to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

The word "Bolshevik" is sometimes used as a synonym of Communist.

At the Second Congress of the RSDLP, held in Belgium in 1903, Lenin was able to persuade the majority of the party elite to support him as leader of the party. Many commentators point out the difficulties presented to the Menshevik faction by getting lumbered with this name. In fact, the Mensheviks were actually the numerically larger faction among rank-and-file party members, but the majority of the party leadership supported Lenin; hence, Lenin's faction took the name "Bolshevik".

The Bolsheviks were the more radical faction. Bolsheviks were distinguished from the Mensheviks by a belief in limited Party membership of only professional full-time revolutionaries, organized in a strongly centralised hierarchy which sought to achieve power; a refusal to co-operate with bourgeois democratic government or even eventually other socialist organizations; and in addition, the adoption of Lenin as great leader. The Mensheviks favored open party membership and espoused cooperation with the other socialist and some non-socialist groups in Russia.

Leon Trotsky was initially a member of Mensheviks, but in one of the key defections from that wing of the party, he lined up behind Lenin and became a Bolshevik after the First Russian Revolution.

After the revolution and subsequent banning of the Mensheviks and all other political organizations, the Bolsheviks dropped that name and became known simply as the Communist Party.

Since the Jews in Russia were discriminated, many of them were atracted by the non-nationalist vision of Russia after socialist revolution. Both fractions of the party had big shared of Jewish memebers. This lead to oficially anti-Semitism as the way of fight of Tsars police Okhrana against those underground organisations.

This led to the characterization of the Communist Revolution as a vengeful Jewish conquest of Russia in view of the murder of the royal family and the annihilation of tens of millions of ethnic Russians and Ukranians in the 1920's and 1930's.

The view of the communism as the Communist-Jewish ambitions were also popular in other countries especially after the communist revolution, as achieved in Hungary, under the Jew Bela Kuhn.

This dualistic view ( fashism or communism ) contributed to the rise of National Socialists (Nazis) in Germany, and lead to defeat European democracy. See Also:
