    The Mensheviks would have done a better job managing the USSR than Stalin.

    They literally collaborated with the monarchist Cadets in a conspiracy to invade Petrograd and prevent the convening of the Congress of Soviets. That was literally the act that brought anyone who was on the fence about whether the Provisional Government's tepid reformism was viable or whether a second revolution was already needed into the latter camp, leading to the vote for revolution by the Congress of Soviets followed by the storming of the Winter Palace as the start of the October Revolution.
