Context: That’s Trotsky standing on a boat in Petrograd, with the Bronze Horseman behind him. The original meme was about a “good ending,” and this reply says the actual good ending is the timeline where Trotsky beats Stalin. Lenin preferred Trotsky to succeed him, but Stalin outplayed him politically. So this is the alternate history where the Red Army founder takes charge. Look at that grumpy face though, not every good ending looks happy.
