Claiming someone as being pro-Bolshevik "for good reason" is
comparable to claiming someone is a Nazi, or a child molestor, or a
murderer "for good reason."

Sure, but in Latvia this movement was Bolshevik, particularly.  In
Ukraine the m***** sup****ted anti-Bolshevik Petliura, various
warlords, the anarchist Makhno, etc. and in Russia the m***** weren't
pro-Bolshevik either.

What about the democratic government?  The Bolsheviks didn't overthrow
the czar, you know.  They just murdered him and his family.

Was the Provisional government so awful that Russia deserved to have
the Bolshevik regime replace it?

Sure, the Latvians forced a regime on the Russian and Ukrainian people
that was far, far worse, than what had ever been done to their own
people, and washed their hands of it, living happily for about 20
years.  Unfortunately the consequences of that crime came back to them
and their people.
