The Communist political strategy from 1917 to 1924 was called "World Revolution" and had the aim of establishing a world government.
Almost every single European country experienced a Communist revolution during this time period.
This strategy was a miserable failure everywhere outside of impoverished Russia (the only place they didnt expect it to succeed) due to the nationalistic conservatism of the proles.
Marxists responded in two ways:
Firstly, the USSR under Lenin attempted to invade and conquer Europe by force (as he believed that a Communist Germany was necessary to secure their victory in Russia), but was stopped by the Polish, resulting in the Polish-Soviet war.
Secondly, this strategy of Marxism was abandoned; both the idea of using the proletariat as a vessel for revolution, and the that global Communism could be achieved through violent revolution. This resulted in the Frankfurt School Gramscian 'Western Marxism' (aka Cultural Marxism) that dominates the institutions of the entire West today.
