I think the key takeaway is: You can't export the revolution.
Its like how a butterfly needs the struggle of fighting its way out of its cocoon or how you should never help a chick hatch out of an egg. If you don't have a home baked revolution the counter revolution is more insidious and has to wait until it is assured of success. The whites need to think they can win so that they pit themselves against the popular will. This galvanizes the entire population and also purges all the hard core whites leaving only the cowards who won't fight for their beliefs.
It was an almost unavoidable mistake. WW2 forced the red army to fight for every inch of eastern europe. They killed so many fascists that it seemed unlikely that there were any left. Because the red army was so powerful the counter revolutionaries had the sense to just go underground and fester.
Yup, exporting revolution would be only viable if communism was already the hegemonic ideology. And to make it the hegemonic ideology, it's best to lead by example like China does, prove that communism is superior.
Do you think my tankie friends will accept me when I come out of the closet as a Dengist?
if they're westerners, you're cooked.
