My point is that saying Russia is a "Land of Peace" compared to the US is not historically accurate in the least.

I don't think that's being disputed. Both the USA and Russia had incredibly violent labor histories in the late 1800s and 1900s. The main difference is that in Russia, the workers+peasants organized and won, and in the US, they lost.

Either way this both-sidesing of violence makes no sense. You might as well demonize every just cause in history, or every person that defends themselves from an aggressor with that outlook.

Tell that to the other people arguing with me. You're right about the rest though.
