The Petrograd Soviet was a democratically elected council, they gave the power to the higher members to topple the provisional government, after which the power continued to be concentrated in the hands of the authorities.
The authorities by definition are those in whom power is concentrated. Be clear.
Point still stands, it took an act of force to create the government.
It takes an act of force to overthrow any state and to maintain the conditions of rule of any state. The American Revolution was an act of force to overthrow the British colonial state and impose a new domestic rule on the colonies.
