The most industrialized society where socialism took hold without being forced from without was what, Cuba?
Probably Yugoslavia, if you consider the Partisans the ones who established the socialist government rather than the Red Army.
To ask the reverse of Gully's question, what if the Spartacists had succeeded in Germany along with the Bolsheviks taking over Russia? Given their ideological differences and Luxemburg's open anti-Bolshevism, could there be cooperation between Berlin and Moscow or would they lead two opposed socialist blocs?
