Remind me, what exactly did the red army do to put the communists in power?

Took advantage of a wildly unpopular government during WWI to hold a revolution, taking the Winter Palace.

It wasn't just a random strike and coup, but a revolutionary movement backed by a mass of workers.

That's what a coup is.

You're contradicting yourself little buddy, just earlier you were claiming that mass popular support is democracy. But apparently an uprising of the oppressed is just a coup. 🤡
