1.	unusual, extraordinary, or curious; odd; queer: a strange remark to make.

 

Personally I would have thought that Australian troops sent to Western Europe to fight Germany ending up in far Eastern Europe fighting Bolsheviks fitted the above definition quite well. There was no value judgement attached, though I am not surprised you managed to find one.

 

In a rare moment of clarity you have actually made a good point - trying to snuff out the Bolshevik regime was a good idea. Stopped clocks & all that. Unfortunately you have lapsed back into gibberish thereafter.

 

What exactly did the Bolsheviks steal, and who were the 'rightful owners?

 

*You can't mean the Finns, Estonians, Latvians or Lithuanians, all of whom got to keep their independence after the revolution (sadly for only a generation in most cases). Indeed, one of the reasons the Whites lost was their insistence on promising to 'restore the Empire'. 

*It can't be the ethnic Muslims in the south who didn't get their independence, otherwise I would have expected to see you raise some sort of concern about the murder of 20% of the population of Chechenya by post-Communist Russian governments.

*I suppose it could be the Belorussians or Ukrainians, though, as established, they wouldn't have been getting their independence either way.

*You can't mean the 'Russian People', as they had spent the whole of their history as subjects of the most vile totalitarian Monachy imaginable. It is a tribute to the depth of the evil that followed that people so easily forge just how bad Tzarist Russia was. You can't get back what you don't have to lose.

*In an ever decreasing field this seems to leave the Romanovs & their flunkies. They lost any claim to Russia by oppressing & abusing its people for centuries, though their descandents will no doubt be pleased to discover they still have supporters in modern Australia.

 

Look, I don't wish to seem unsympathetic. It must be tough being a conservative in Australia at the moment. Really, it must. I can understand the desire to lash out at the nearest leftie, you know, just to prove you still can. Like in the good old days when anyone you disagreed with was an 'elitist'. Unfortunately for you, those times have passed. So, stop making a fool of yourself by taking a swipe at every passing comment I make. You just look like a goose.
