Tells me that it probably was corruption. You got a bad group of leaders, and what had been good went sour. Unfortunately, that's the way shit goes; bad leaders can wreck a great thing.
I mean tbf, the number of socialist countries that even tried to actually be a little bit socialist can be counted on one hand. It may not have been a great place to begin with.
I think that's a problem, yeah. The people that are ideologues aren't the people that tend to lead battles and win revolutions, and the people that win revolutions don't tend to be ideologues that willingly give up power.
