There was nothing “democratic” about the manner of the Bolsheviks operations, other than in small degrees within their own ranks, but not as to the population as a whole.
In other words they practiced (like the Left in the U.S. does) an intellectual lie - “democracy” (choice, real diversity, Liberty) for those who agree with them and not for those who disagree with them.
And make no mistake, there were Hillary supporters who dreamed of this for our future in the US. To be fair, I do not know how many Hillary supporters, but did see some on various boards who were not afraid to express that they were looking forward to seeing non-supporters rounded up and taken to "camps." I seriously doubt they have given up on their "dream." On the contrary, they have created their own "Antifa" militia to try to bring it about by force.
