    Have you read the book Animal farm?

    Or watch the old cartoon. (Not the new cgi garbage).

    And I think you will understand a bit better how things unfolded.

    It's about how any uniting-ideology can be used against the people who follow it.

    It creates conformity, obedience, loyalty to "the cause."

    And some psychopath on a power trip will always try to come in and take power. The people are ripe for manipulation when in the state of "revolution".

    Doesn't matter if it's France or Russia.

    It's a problem with humans following hierarchy. And the "sunk cost fallacy".

    the "successful" are successful because they were willing to exploit others

    and the ussr wasnt a true communist nation as instead of the workers, the state had control over the means of production
