Bolshevism comes from the Russian word "большинство" which means "majority," versus menshevik (меньшинство) which is "minority." It's referring to the majority party representation in their congress. I think you're looking too much into it with "better, greater." America has senate majority and minority too, for example.

Correct

Incorrect. the Bolsheviks claimed to have more followers as a Party, split from the Mensheviks with less followers. No relation to their respective representations in the (provisional) Russian Congress/Assembly which actually showed no clear majority at the time.
It's worth pointing out the etymology of the word "Bolshevik". It comes from Russian "bolshi", meaning "better", "greater".
"Build back better." That's bolshevism. It's the entire idea of top-down society building.
Bolsheviks are people who want to "Build better and greater." By imposing someone's subjective judgment on others.
This is as opposed to spontaneous growth based on principles that might be enshrined in some document, like a constitution.
Constitutions are inconvenient for bolsheviks, because they interfere with their Plan.

This is about mob rule. They want to govern by the rule of man instead of rule of law, plain and simple.
