Peasants worked with the Bolsheviks because they wanted change and had little opportunity under the Tsar. Little did they know most of the commissars were Jews (it wasn't just Trotsky) and were foreign to Russia. The old Bolsheviks would then go unto execute many of the Peasants and live as kings like the Tsar totally in opposition to what the glutonous "never worked in my life" Marx preached. That the lower class would rise to lead. Didn't happen like that. It was just a revenge plot against Orthodoxy and everything Russian.

Indeed, I concur. Also, there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING socialist about that regime. Socialism exists only in capitalist economies, not in communist ones.
