: Popular revolutions have only ever happened in Marxist imaginations.

There were two revolutions in 1917.

Both were popular revolutions. The second had leadership while the first not. Only difference.

Now what about Cuba? Did only 12 men with 6 rifles actually take over the government---or did they receive some popular support?

Get serious.
