Personally I'm waiting for a larger mass of workers, and especially of proletariat in the armed forces to awaken. And by waiting I mean studying theory to be better at propaganda (for the lack of a better term).
Back in 1917, a very significant portion of the Russian army deserted or was otherwise not inclined to fight for the government. The situation now is different
I think the point they're trying to make is that currently the army is likely to kill any proletarian uprising were it to happen, where as back in 1917, the Russian army was fed up and wasn't about to mow down their countrymen at the orders of the same people who marched them to their deaths on the Eastern front.

What are you trying to say the last paragraph? The Russian army is not ML anymore.

Thank you, that is exactly it
Oh, I see. So it seems that the world is just getting more right wing. Do we have any chance?
I think that Western governments and elites are getting more right wing, but I think the people are coming round
What makes you say that?
Nothing but a feeling and a bit of hope. I think people know how fucked things are but have a lot of anti-leftist brainwashing to overcome.
That's exactly what I'm saying. Also what comrade Flyberius said. Pretty much word for word
Oh, you mean that previously the Russian army was more class conscious, but that changed
Edit: Who is comrade flyberius?
Yes, pretty much. And comrade Flyberius is somewhere in the comments here, explaining what I meant
