Nation in that sense, that the basis for the revolution is not simply the party alone. The Bolsheviks were a minority for a long time.
But they gained support from the nation fast. I mean, many peasants supported the Bolsheviks instantly after the revolution 1917 because they adopted the program of the social revolutionary party regarding expropriation of the Kulaks and and and. Social revolutionaries did nothing about that, when they had power. This was a smart move for real. It showed the peasants, that bourgeois parties promise many things but betray in the end. While the Bolsheviks took this part from the SRs program and enforced it trough a decre.
This is one of many examples. The Bolshevik party lead the revolution, but the revolution was achieved by the population of zarist Russia in the end, by the proletarian, peasents and the smaller progressive part of the petite bourgeoisie. You can call it "Nation" of course. But the meaning of "Nation" here is not an alliance between all classes, what probably some pseudo-left liberal would understand. That's the reason why he said:"
But those revolutions will be made by the majority.".
And that's absolutely true. I don't know of any tendency which would disagree here, maybe your usual pseudo-left liberal, but I already mentioned it.
