I’ve never seen it put so well. But yeah, it’s super hard for anything nice to actually follow a revolution without outside support.
And there is always outside influence too. That outside influence might make even the best of socialist experiments fail because of embargoes and assassinations. Or maybe the outside influence wants the socialism to succeed, but maybe it has to be their brand of socialism, or else.

They made mistakes. But overall their countries were a gazillion times better from their influence.
e.g. From 1950 to 1980, life expectancy at birth in China grew from between 35 and 40 years to 65.5 years, one of the most rapid sustained increases in documented global history
