This is why I don’t really get the fascination of Revolutionary Ukraine. They 100% would’ve been rolled by the Nazis in WWII, or even worse, actively collaborated with the Nazis in order to not get rolled. How is a peasant army and society supposed to stand against a mechanized military?
I think a lot of people figure that gumption and morals win wars, instead of things like money and resources.

Even the Bolsheviks experimented with measures like abolishing military rank and troops voting on orders. That was quickly dealt away with when idealism came up against the realities of battle. While you’re being shot at, you don’t have the luxury of voting on orders.
