they all had very little to do with the actual masses at that point (1905 in Russia, 1789 in France). fuck, the march on the winter palace was organized by the cops. like yes, the parties that eventually became huge already existed but they were relative non-players on political terms. that changed rapidly after the onset of the revolution as they stepped into the void and gained the credibility to speak for the mob.
nothing of the sort manifested until after the initial revolution in both France and Russia. I expect it will be much the same here.
