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.

That’s what a coup is.

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. 🤡

A coup is a revolutionary movement with mass support? Are all revolutions coups?

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