Why would the Russian people have supported a Communist Revolution?

from the way i understand it.. after a long standing class warfare not completely unlike what we face today in the US with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer the common working class banded together and revolted against the oppressive government of the time and strived to establish a system in which everyone was equal and paid the same according to his means. the end result would be no competitive markets or ability to profit at all. no imagination or drive to Excel beyond what you were paid to do or what the government allowed you to do.

It in effect took on a life of its own and gave a rather impulsive and over eager populous a nightmarish reality that enslaved a society to this rule set for the next 70+ years.
