October 1917: they take over communism would be going everywhere, it just began in russia the worker"s army is beaten back at the gates of warsaw, defeated everywhere else there is an attempt to establish it. Making the peasants rich would hurt the urban areas free market in the rural areas ; didn"t even appear to have a chance of working.
