“There was just no cohesive force to oppose the Bolshies. They also demonstrated amazing spirit and dedication.”
Could not the same parallels be drawn with the American Left _today_, vs. the disorganization of the Right?

Not IMO. The Bolshies were a tightly disciplined Party.
American leftists and liberals are an utterly disorganized coalition of special interest groups. The only thing they agree on is their detestation for Bush and conservatives. They agree to support each other to win elections.
Now they’ve regained control, I expect fissures to form rapidly. Not every special interest group can get all the goodies they think they should, and they’ll resent it when another group gets more.
