The Whites weren't entirely - or even majority - Tsarist, though. In fact, a lot of Whites fought initially on the side of the revolutionaries during the initial Russian Revolution.
It's more the other way around - the Bolsheviks fought on the side of the coalition that did the February revolution (which happened exactly because the Tsarist regime was utterly incompetent). Over the upcoming months the non-Tsarist whites' legitimacy eroded so the big dick Bolsheviks had to come in and take all of the power. Not to mention that the socialists had more power in the provisional government because they actually had the support of the people (workers, military).

It's completely unreasonable to think of the political opponents of the Reds as anything but bourgeois stooges. That's not even something that's being pushed against in contemporary history.
I don't know how true it is per-se, because its all hypothetical "what if" speculation, but some claim the Romanovs would have been executed or exiled even in the event of a White victory over the Reds.
I personally don't think so but it doesn't really matter. It would be good for business to kill the Romanovs if you were the Whites and you somehow managed to win because everyone fucking hated the Royal Family and you'd gain some legitimacy in the eyes of the people who despise you for aligning with them.
Its similar to the Nicaraguan Civil War; the "Contras" were only a minority of Somoza's former soldiers (many of whom hated their former boss anyways); they were an umbrella movement of former soldiers, peasant rebels, mulatto/indigenous tribes, drug smugglers and even leftist/socialists who didn't want to suck Castro & KGB/GRU dick - most of whom had fought or at least tacitly supported the prior revolution against Somoza.
It's ironic calling Castro a KGB/GRU dick-sucker (which is true) and ignoring the fact that the Contras were funded by the US. There was some affair having something to do with Iran, right?

You're right that they're similar though it's a good analogy.
 
OK Bolshevik

Your post can best be summed up as "TLDR - Leninist Hoes Mad"
Look at this conservatard over here.
Lenin was a tyrant and a mass murderer who was worse than the Tsars in every objective way, as low of a bar as that is to clear, Lenin somehow managed it. The only people worse than him were Trotsky and Stalin
Cry more. When Lenin came to power the average Russian was shitting in a field wiping his ass with his hand. When Stalin died the USSR was an atomic superpower. You'd have to be a literal moron or completely brainwashed to think that the Soviet regime was worse in ANY, let alone EVERY objective way.

It wasn't exactly good business for the Reds (that's why they lied about it) and would probably have been even worse business for the Whites who relied on foreign support from Britain - George V was Nicholas II's cousin

I have yet to hear of the Czar having people unpersoned by hidden goon squads for being the first to stop clapping.

And yet most of them were still shitting in a field wiping their ass with their hand. They only built those nukes because they poached all the German atomic scientists.

Tsarist Russia did have secret police - named the Okhranka or Okhrana. In fact, it's believed that Stalin was once a secret policeman

I wasn't calling Castro a KGB/GRU dick-sucker (though he was one), I was saying the FSLN regime (re:Ortega) in Nicaragua was a dictatorship but functionally a puppet of both Castro and Soviet intelligence - to the point that even leftist Sandinistas were joining the "Contras" (see Eden Pastora & ARDE).

And yeah, basically some Reagan officials sold F-14 & AH-1 parts to Iran in exchange for hostage release (at the time Iran was at war with Iraq), then used the funds from those sales to provide the Contras with more guns, explosives and medical supplies.
You're right that they're similar though it's a good analogy.
I guess my further implied point was that big-tent umbrella organizations always tend to be viewed as guilty of their most unsavory members, as well as have their intent & aim morphed by historians into the goals of a minority of the organization.

Can it get any more fart-huffing?
50 years from now id like to see id teach my future students of the second civil war. I do wonder if the dnc will be shitted on for a fraudulent election or the critical race theory teachers already got the subject written up.
Kenosha Kyle and the McCloskey's will be vilified to the same degree as John Wilkes Booth.

Assuming it happens or isn't forgotten to time or forbidden history by the Chinese, they race theory teachers will probably blame Capitalism Donald Drumpf (with how often the left calls him that he might historically be remembered as such)

And that cops would turn black people into lampshades, and that the rioting was all a big false flag by huwite supremacists in disguise.
