		For the Kronstadt uprising posed very far-reaching issues: the relationship between the so-called "masses" and the parties which profess to speak in their name, and the nature of the social system in the modern Soviet Union.
		The Kronstadt uprising, in effect, remains as a lasting challenge to the Bolshevik concept of a party's historical function and the notion of the Soviet Union as a "workers" or "socialist" state.
		By common consent (until the Bolsheviks began to revise history after the uprising) the Kronstadt sailors were regarded as the most reliable and politicised military elements of the newly established Soviet regime.

	jane dark's sugarhigh!: v for vendetta
		Among purportedly pro-revolution Hollywood movies, V4V knows enough to dodge the obvious critiques: the individual hero, if he is such, diligently steps aside and lets the next generation have responsibility for changing their world, represented both by a teeming “Dude, we’re all Spartakus” collectivity and a radicalized woman-child.
		That seems to get it about right, and moreover the narrative doesn’t flinch from its own logic, except perhaps for the fortuitous set of eventualities whereby, the twin heads of the repressive regime having been dually dispatched, the headless government troops decline to fire on the uprising.
		One wishes as well that, at the climax, having persuaded her hangdog pursuer that the explosive-laden train must indeed be launched, Evey had inhabited the devil-may-care drive of anarchic destructivity enough to say “Wanna go for a ride?” rather than their both deboarding.

	The Second Congress of the KAPD
		The working class was hampered by the earlier failure of its leaders to create a party politically independent of the bourgeoisie.
		In the aftermath of this isolated uprising, which was launched against the advice and votes of the KPD(S), who argued on the grounds of an all-too correct evaluation of the revolt's chances of success, Luxemburg and Liebknecht were murdered along with thousands of workers.
		At the founding of the KPD(S), the leadership had been to the right of the membership, and this divergence was accentuated by the conditions of illegality after the uprising, and by pressure from Radek.
