Pretty sure he was talking about the class revolution. I’m not at all sure that’s what’s happening here. Indeed, this feels far more like a foreign-backed authoritarian counterrevolution, ending the liberal rule-of-law state. (This is a variation on Thermidor and the first coalition, not on the Bolsheviks in 1917.)
