It is only the bourgeoisie who prevent this; they will use violence either through classic oppression of the working class or direct violence to maintain the status quo of exploitation. The workers would love to be peacefully handed the means of production.
This is one of the best way to demonstrate to liberals that they ARE oppressed even if they don’t feel it. We (the proletariat) have no incentive to be violent if a peaceful end to exploitation is possible, but every day we face the obvious fact that the bourgeoisie will never peacefully surrender their way of life even if it is for the greater good of humanity.
I like to point out that the Russian revolution was an anti-war revolution, and occurred as a peaceful protest without any bloodshed.
The bloodshed happened later, when the UK, Japan, the US, Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, China, Persia, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, Serbia, Romania, Italy, Canada, Australia, India, South Africa, and others including the left opposition, invaded the soviet republic. The violence always originates in the reaction.

I think there is something to this.
It is the kind of terrain that stretches an invading army to breaking point, particularly because the invading army does not have the local support of the populous. By the same token, it stretches the home army to breaking point if the home army does not have the support of the populous. This inherently gives revolutionaries the advantage when they have actual support.
For this reason it is in fact inevitable that it would be these locations that succeed and you can count on it being countries with similar logistics and/or geographical problems for militaries that such a thing could occur another time.
