I think we're rly talking about three different but interconnected phenomena:
Was Mao's criticism of cornman rejecting stalin correct?
Was Mao's criticism of soviet foreign policy correct?
Were China's geopolitical actions following the split correct?
Imo Mao was only correct on 1.
What little ive read on soviet/warsaw pact foreign policy suggests international socialism would have benefitted more from the soviets keeping a tighter leash on the Pact, and china siding with the west was the worst possible outcome of all this
