It's more likely the Bolsheviks funded themselves. Stalin led violent bank raids during the Russian Civil War and Lenin was supported by the Germans

This isn't anything new.  We've seen this stuff before.  If you look to the table of contents you will see the heart of this nonsense.  "The Jewish Global Conspiracy".  Take your antisemitic BS somewhere else.

Their funding was probably pretty diverse and included:
-Robberies
-Willing contributions  At the end of the day, the Bolsheviks did have a certain level of popular support. In China, peasant women routinely contributed small pieces of silver jewelry to Mao's Long Marchers.  The jewelery was melted down into bullion
-Bonds Some Soviet red groups actually issued capitalistic government bonds complete with payment coupons).  Think of the ironyShocked.  
-Taxes Mao's group set up a formal government in a remote "liberated" area.  Taxes were collected and used to fund a variety of activities.  One of which was building a big red ceremony  hall with electricity ( a big "wow factor" in 1930s rural china) to impress recruits during swearing in rituals, rallies etc.
