I resent your comment as low effort. This is a rather non-nuanced take on history. What happened, happened. History does not really work like that. To make it concrete - my great great grandma was born in shtetl, in the pale. She was illiterate, and her village was pogromed often. The revolution allowed her daughter to get some education, and her granddaughter to become a leading civil engineer. For this I am grateful. That being said, I also understand the futile impossibility of even attempting to "what if" history.
