The Soviets' Post-War Strategy, Communist Revolutions, and Bourgeois Institutions
The Soviets did not invade northern Japan after World War II because they were focused on securing their government's persistence, rebuilding their industrial capacity, and tending to their decimated population. This indicates that they were not in an expansionist mode. The Cold War was characterized by mutual distrust and containment fueled by the perception of Soviet expansionism. Additionally, it is suggested that organizing workplace efforts should be supported, but not haphazardly. The potential success of a Luxembourgist German Communist Revolution is questioned, with the resistance of bourgeois institutions in Germany, France, and Britain highlighted. The scenario suggests that internal dissent and the exhaustion of working classes in these countries could have prevented widespread revolution.
