Despite their name, the Bolsheviks weren't the majority of the revolution. But there was a group that indeed took up arms against the Socialist State, it was the Bolsheviks, which represented only about 13% of the delegates for all the other socialist parties had way more people and support. After staging a coup and taking the control, every other group became a "terrorist cell". It's easy to be the majority when you murder the rest.
