I’m still pissed about the Bolshevik antidemocratic takeover. There was something magical happening there. Even if the Soviets weren’t as evil as the propaganda says - and they weren’t - they brutally suppressed an actual, real-life people’s movement, which was organically finding solutions in a moment of post-Imperial euphoria. The cynical fuckers thought it wasn’t good enough because they didn’t, after all, trust the people.
Well, good job in believing anti-communist liberal narratives I guess. Truly Bolsheviks just fell out of the sky in 1917 and took everything over undemocratically with 0 support and didn’t trust “”“the people”“” (which is literally a bourgeois narrative, there’s no such thing as unified people in a nation, as class divides them).

Can you point me to a source then? I’d be happy to be wrong. I know the Bolsheviks had a lot of popular support, but they did not win the elections.
