The Permanent Revolution Vs. Socialism in One Country

History has largely vindicated this strategy I think. The next socialist state must be prepared to wage constant warfare against all capitalist nations and institutions.

Apart from Yugoslavia and maybe Czechoslovakia, none of the eastern bloc states would have had ML governments following WWII if they hadn't had been liberated by the red army.

Permanent revolution was an actual theory, whereas socialism in one country was an ad hoc justification for the purely pragmatic decision to not openly spread revolution to other countries, seeing as the expected revolutionary wave of WW1 fizzled, invading countries to impose socialism upon them was simple imperialism, the world powers were no longer hindered by a massive imperialist carnage and thus could afford to invade the USSR and snuff it out, and the fact that the early USSR wasn't in a position to start military adventures anyway, what with being a semi-feudal, wartorn arctic shithole and all.

Invading other countries and imposing socialism isn't imperialism. Otherwise I agree with your post.

How has history vindicated that strategy? For the entire existence of the Warsaw Pact the countries of Eastern Europe were a thorn in the side of the Soviets, and they only propped up the socialist governments there because they felt it was a matter of natiobal security. Don’t forget that there were three major popular revolts that required Soviet military intervention, and that’s not counting the ones in Poland and Romania that were dealt with without Soviet help. Then of course they all collapsed in 1989 in spectacular fashion, which unlike the collapse of the USSR, was supported by the people in those countries at the time. If anything I think that the Cold War proves that this strategy can never work.

Socialism in One country was practical vs theory that was never implemented anywhere

Incorrect policy platform but not at all one that should've been repressed and treated in the brutalising way it was.

Based and Syndie-pilled. Kollontai did nothing wrong.
