I mean, yes. These guys are definitely some of the less… baseless… cranks I’ve run into. The Russian Revolution was the first of its kind, and still damned impressive today even with more context of revolutions that came after and the USSR’s existence as part of a larger socialist world. So, yeah. I can see how a very religious person may place at least some credit on a higher power guiding things in the peoples’ favour, and, well, with the Orthodox tendencies towards this kind of religious crankery in the first place, and the way leftists all tend to get about the USSR… I can see the logic, even if I don’t believe two words of it, at least more so than most “leftist” cranks I’ve run into.
