Wow. I read the intro and was expecting satire. But now I think the writer actually is serious...
Anybody who wishes to draw inspiration from the Russian communist revolution should start with the results. Starting with economic prosperity and equality: The USSR fell far behind the neighbouring European capitalist liberal democracies in productivity and wealth per capita. These neighbours also reduced economic inequality, making their poor much wealthier then the Russian poor. On top of that come the high costs of the communist system: lack of freedom, poor acces to basic human rights, state violence, ecological devastation, militaristic agression and incidents of intentional famine or other forms of mass murder. And the democracy only existed when rigorously following state doctrine under the watchfull eye of the secret police. 
The main lessons from 2017 and what followed are on what NOT to do. Liberal democracies with good governance and functioning civil society have more to teach.
