He describes himself as marxist. In the docudrama I just picked up familiar use of terms and started reading about him. He also seems to be involved with psychoanalytical interpretation of history, which is equally bad (the Britis h university where I study is marxist/psychoanalytical so I tend to pick these things up)

I just generally have an issue about historians, who have strong political stance. Maybe it's because in my home country, objective and fact-based history writing was unheard of, untill the collapse of Soviet Union.

Socio-economical context would of course suit the long, good quality documentary, I'd like to see. It doesn't explain the whole revolution though, even that my professors claim so.
