Lenin's party was called the Bolsheviks, meaning majorityites, which was one faction of the Russian Marxist party. The other faction was called the Mensheviks, meaning minorityites. The irony is that there were more Mensheviks than Bolsheviks in the Marxist party, but Lenin chose that name for his faction because it held a temporary majority of one vote for a brief period of time. It was a huge psychological advantage over the other faction.
