We need to talk about how the bolsheviks botched the national question and its horrifically right wing outcomes decades later. There’s a reason all those eastern european nations went radically right wing the second the USSR was dissolved. Nationalism run wild

Not just nationalism but also our naivete to how states act, regardless of whether they are 'socialist' or not. So many of the USSR's decisions prioritized the immediate interests/survival of the state at the expense of revolutions abroad and eventually those betrayals left it without the external support to survive the West's onslaught.
