Yes. Agitating at least helps heighten the conflict to the point where it is no longer so obvious a revolution isn't possible. "Vote Blue No Matter Who!" is already the dominant strategy, it is the decay everyone is freaking out about. Contra is the lib version of the Trumpers who kept pretending like Trump wasn't already president.
Also like.....one is telling you that just do this one awful thing and tell yourself it is good actually and you have power; while the other is agitating and screaming to anyone who will listen that there is SOMETHING anything that can be done. Just being fed up and saying "we can demand better than this, this is not ok" is far far far better than getting people to just vote blue and then go to bed.
Agitating for revolution is not claiming that it will happen or be a switch getting flipped, vote blue openly misleads people as to the nature of power
I mean we're leaving out huge chunks of history like the literal meat grinder war that had millions of russians dying from guns, gas, and starvation, or the fact that the chuds of their day - Tsar loving peasants and priests - walked up to the winter palace asking their beloved ruler to fight for their labor rights then getting roflstomped by the imperial guards.
Or the fact that communists for the past few decades were literally among the people teaching them the basics of class struggle to the point that even gnarly old peasants could talk about how their labor was being stolen by their landlords
The people of the US won't even put a piece of cloth on there face to stop one million of there people from dying. I can not over state my skepticism at this moment.
To play devils advocate is it any different from agitating for a revolution that its obvious to even the most casual observers is not going to happen?

I'm also willing to bet half of the Russians didn't hate the other half more than any other group of people on the planet.
Tsarists, aristocrats, militarists, ultranationalists, fascists, liberals, succdems, etc.
I'd say there was an equal amount of shitlibs to square off against the Reds
