Description of Bolsheviks as imagined by a returning traveler
A traveling critic portrays Bolshevik rule as elitist and violent class control. He argues a central board would strip rights, empower workers in select cities, and seize land and property, while private property owners would be excluded from power. He notes peasant property ownership and regional unrest as anti socialization sentiment grows. He also observes hostility from churches and reports that few agitators are American citizens who prefer to return to the United States.
