This revolution succeed when earlier ones had failed because it had more support and stronger people behind the cause. This revolution had a previous Russian leader behind the cause plus more citizens backed the idea.
World War I had weakened the Russian military and people's dissatisfaction with life under the czars lead to the successful revolution.
Right now there is a clear battle in the US between Socialism, Free market enterprise and Corporatism. Technically both free market enterprise and Corporatism are both forms of Capitalism but Corporatism is a more like what China has except instead of the Gov controlling everything it's a few huge international corporations. If the Socialists went away we could try new ideas. The fact is that when you use forced redistribution of wealth you are engaging in either or both Socialism and or tyranny. The difference is purely in labels. When somebody steals your stuff they steal your stuff. The slogan they use while doing it really doesn't help most people be good with it. Socialism is when you boil it down to it's most basic essence is organized theft. It is the Government coming in and stealing what you own. In Corporatism you have a similar system but it's done with slight of hand. You have the illusion of choice. You can pay what they want you to pay or do without. What they want you to pay will be more than you can afford, so your stuck back in the old company town kind of world where you make less than you owe and the more you thrash the worse it gets. Free market enterprise is the darling of Libertarians and non-Republcian Conservatives is a system where corporations are kept in check but nobody steals your stuff either. At least not much. The philosophy varies in the extent taxation is allowed. Taxation is nothing but legal theft. It is the taking of goods/monies from the rightful owner. Since it is not voluntary it is theft. If those goods/monies are given to other citizens it's not just theft it's also bribery. So the less taxes and less welfare the better is the general opening theme. Keeping corporations in check creates opportunity thus removing the need for welfare as people have better standards of living. More jobs, better paying jobs and better lives overall. This is balanced with varying degrees of the need to help the least fortunate and retirees. The more extreme is that everybody is on their own to the other extreme with substantial help but generally in ways that produce low taxation. Those are economic models. Socialism tends to be coupled with a wide set of mandatory beliefs as well. This is the basis for the Democrat party. As such Socialism which is another word for Marxism since they are founded on the same core beliefs and ideas and are merely degrees of the same thing rather than different systems altogether is very much in play in the US today. Various Capitalist supporters have a wide array of Social agendas. Some quite liberal but without Marxist approaches to problem solving. As for pointless they are far from pointless. Socialism is Marxism. It is merely a milder form of the disease.

How did the Bolshevik revolution lead to civil war in Russia?
The Russian Civil War broke out because many Russians never favored the rule of the Bolsheviks under Lenin. The Bolshevik Revolution was a military coup rather than a popular revolution. The Bolshevik Party was a minority party even among the other revolutionary parties such as the Social Revolutionaries, Mensheviks, Constitutional Democrats and others. Not only was it a minority party, but its policies were actively disliked by many if not most of the people in the country. The Bolshevik takeover was tolerated because it was felt that a temporary communist government would be better than the conservative Provisional Government. They also felt that the Bolsheviks would never be able to retain control of the government since they would be voted out of power once the proposed democratically elected Constituent Assembly instituted a proper form of government. Then the Bolsheviks refused to permit the Constituent Assembly to sit, arrested most of the members of the other political parties and suppressed all opposition to their rule. Many Russians, including Russian army commanders were either completely opposed to Bolshevik rule or so disillusioned by the repressive tactics of the Bolsheviks that they became determined to oust the Bolsheviks from power by force. This became the Russian Civil War.
