Adding onto this (I didn't want to make the original post a mile long):
The russians were tired of playing second fiddle to western Europe. They lost out on colonization and empire building and compensated with taking a shit ton of pretty much useless land in the far east as opposed to the money pits all of the other powers got.
They lost out on the Renaissance and the transition to mercantilism. The Renaissance had an impact almost everywhere but Russia.
They lost out on the industrial revolution and capitalism.
Almost every tsar tried desperately to play catch up with the west and failed miserably in their attempt to do so. Peter the great was the closest, but he turned into a draconian bag of dicks and fucked over the orthodox church. Catherine the great almost made Russia a near peer adversary with the west, but lost her fucking mind after the French revolution.
Russia kept feudalism for 400 years after the west abolished it, and still failed to actually industrialize after getting rid of serfdom. The only "power" that was worse off than russia at the turn of the 20th century was Qing china, and maybe the ottomans.
Add onto that the doubling down on every aspect of russian life that Alexander III implemented, and the disastrous wars that tsar Nicholas got himself involved in, and Russia was absolutely primed for a revolt.
So the russians wanted to take power into their own hands, and they saw bolshevism as not only a way to be peer to peer with the west, but a way to lead the pack. And, in all honesty, they actually were leading the pack for a while after ww2. They were the strongest military power in the world and the US was on the defensive against communist expansion during the cold war. They managed to have a litany of countries follow in their footsteps instead of dismissing Russia as a bunch of backwards retards. One of those countries that followed in the USSR's footsteps has exceeded the soviet union and will probably exceed the United states soon.
For all of its faults and considering that it was originally established as a jewish hell-state, the soviet union actually made the world recognize Russia as something other than Europe's backwater. Which is what many patriotic russians really wanted in the first place. Instead of playing second fiddle to the west and trying desperately to catch up, they did something entirely different and ended up more powerful than any of the former western powers.
So there were many factors influencing the russian revolution and civil war. Jewish stoking of the fire, legitimate grievances, the ineffectiveness of the kerensky government, and russian revanchism were the main ones.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
