This strip is not even about the actual Bolsheviks.

Have you skipped over the first panel?

That’s clearly where you stopped reading.

The first panel ruined it for me as well, though. It’s meant to be political allegory, sure, but the first panel just makes it bad history instead.

It’s too absurd to be taken seriously. Like how in the second panel the guy with the evil goatee says “Now we get to do all of our evil communist stuff!”. Another factor is that even if you were to take this seriously, it would portray the the bolsheviks as ineffective liberals. A Lenin/Stalin apologist would not portray them that way. And most people don’t get their history lessons from 9-panel comic strips.
