How come the Bolsheviks always seemed to execute/assassinate one another?

I've been reading about Trotsky..why do they always end up killing one another? I thought it was about sharing of wealth and a community but everything always seems to end in bloodshed.

Because its really all about power, and one of the first things you do is kill as many people likely to revolt as possible, and those happen to be the dissidents just like yourself.

It always cracks me up when all the pink haired ANTIFA types want communism, and those people would be in the 2nd wave lined up against the wall and shot.

They hate everyone and everything and reject God in favor of greed and hedonism.

So the first thing you do when you get in power is kill everyone who helped you get there. This solidifies your power, hides the bodies, and ensures those who you taught to rebel aren’t there to rebel against you.

Also, the leaders are narcissistic sociopaths. They hate the people they’re manipulating and as soon as they have enough power they kill them out of their hatred.

Communists, Marxists, Fascists, all psychopaths and there is no redeeming quality or negotiation with them.

Have you read the Old Testament? Brutal and pointless infighting is a time honored tradition for them.

Being a US Senator comes with a great deal of power and wealth. You don't see Bernie! stepping aside to share that with anyone else, do you?

In a power struggle, the ones closest to you are always the most jealous, vindictive, and likely to kill you for it. It has always been so.

I’m probably wrong but wasn’t the vast majority of them Jews as well? Didn’t they kill some 60+ million people in the Russian revolution? I don’t think it’s popular to talk about though.

Name me a socialist community larger than 20 that has realized this goal. I'm not going to sit around here and wait. I know folks will point to Sweden, which is complete BS. I've worked with Swedes and they are utterly ruthless businessmen. They just have a high tax rate that covers their medicare.

"Sharing the wealth" is bunk. They've never ever done it and never will.

The vast majority of them weren't Jews, but as you stated, Jews made up a disproportionate amount of the leaders of the Bolsheviks. Even some of the Bolsheviks commented on that. I have looked at that before in relation to how Jewish people are disproportionately liberal, and vote Democratic in this country even now. Many of the early Labor Movement leaders in this country were also Jewish (and Marxist leaning).

Because there is no fear of judgement in an afterlife as there is no God. It is all about power on Earth and the ends always, ALWAYS, justify the means
