>>3157706Yes, and? I just said that the government of the soviets only lasted a couple of months. "Soviets" are local autonomous districts with democratically elected leadership. They were completely disbanded and replaced with central government from Moscow that was "soviet" in the name only.

>>3157711I'm taking the piss but it's not like the Soviets were disbanded deliberately out of nowhere, the Russian industrial working class was already a minority and effectively were destroyed from the chaos of the civil war. The reason they were disbanded is because there were no workers to make up the councils anymore

>>3157767makes sense but they soon disbanded all unions, workplace democracy and literally anything that actually represents the people
