of non-bolsheviks*
They outlawed every communist/socialist/anarchist organization that wasn’t them, and then, when there was no other party to kill, they started killing their own, but you are probably in the wrong instance to bring that up.
Not really true. The Bolsheviks won out in the Russian civil war, and afterwards some groups took up arms against the socialist state, and were thus killed off. The people by and large supported the bolsheviks, the terrorist cells were not really supported.
Despite their name, the Bolsheviks weren’t the majority of the revolution. But there was a group that indeed took up arms against the Socialist State, it was the Bolsheviks, which represented only about 13% of the delegates for all the other socialist parties had way more people and support. After staging a coup and taking the control, every other group became a “terrorist cell”. It’s easy to be the majority when you murder the rest.
Bolshevik was a faction name in use after a split in 1903, the minority within the party, who chose the name because the amount of delegates leaving the congress instead of voting on resolutions gave the Bolsheviks the majority vote
you’re presenting it like they called themselves ‘the majority’ only after 1917
