The big difference though is that Russia had a combat party - the Bolsheviks, (together with an even larger Social-Revolutionary party making very similar demands) who enjoyed very wide-spread support among the armed forces. Socialism was "in the air" as well, for lack of a better term, as much of the populace supported some sort of hard leftist reforms. None of this exists currently in the US. Arguably the armed forces part will never exist.
