The masses supported the Bolsheviks in the summer and fall of 1917 because they were the most radically and consistently antiwar party, regardless of their other faults.

Well that’s what the Bolsheviks claim at any rate. It’s always what the dictator claims.

I agree with that but it’s still just one issue that could have been solved with actual representation.
