Yea, in the bolshevik's case back then Social Democracy was also used as a term for communism in some areas. Not so much anymore, but that makes reading older texts a bit confusing if you aren't aware of that.

Good meme, but it wouldn't work on grad, we did read enough theory to know the history behind that name.

Right, getting one past Lemmygrad is about as easy as getting past Stalingrad.
