        The Russian revolution was foremost a peasant revolution. you can't have those in the West.

        The Bolsheviks won by adopting the platform of the social revolutionarys and actually carrying it out. They gave the peasants the Tsars, nobels, churches land to make their (petit bouge) dreams come true. Then years later Stalin came with the big collectivisation stick and still had to allow private plots. Cruschtschow lost much of his public support by trying to complete collectivisation and take away the private plots.
