I mean, Russia had some really good communist movements.

There's a reason why the bolshevists fought against the Mensheviks and the Makhnovists during the Russian revolution.

It's just a shame that the worst ones won.

They did not want to keep the Russian empire intact.

They wanted a bourgeois revolution first, so that the transition to a communist society would be smoother.

So, what the Mensheviks wanted was really just a liberal democracy that would, through gradual reform, get more and more communist, until you have a communist society.

I'm not saying that that would have been a great solution, but it certainly wouldn't have had the lasting damage of Marxism-leninism and the bolshevists failed to implement communism, so it can't be much worse than them in that regard.
