The Bolsheviks stormed the Winter Palace, and not a single shot was fired. Think about that, that would be like Antifa storming the White House with zero combat. The Tsar family was captured without a real battle and transported to Siberia to live for a long time before their execution. Nicholas' problem was that he was too indifferent and tame. Russia had historically been ruled by strength and might, and Nicholas was more interested in his private life than his public presence and strength. He was a good man, but this became his undoing. My point is, Russia at that time did not have a strong enough will against the Bolsheviks. They didn't meet against the Bolshevik energy with enough force and might. I truly hope that the American patriots have enough strength and will to stop Communists from taking over our nation.
