    Took advantage of a wildly unpopular government during WWI to hold a revolution, taking the Winter Palace.

    It wasn’t just a random strike and coup, but a revolutionary movement backed by a mass of workers.

          A coup is the violent overthrow of a government, so if the revolution is violent, yeah.

            That’s a bit goofy, but then I will amend the original statement with clarity: revolutionaries do not necessarily support random individual movements, but mass revolutionary action among the workers.

        You’re contradicting yourself little buddy, just earlier you were claiming that mass popular support is democracy. But apparently an uprising of the oppressed is just a coup. 🤡
