I said his permanent revolution was good and it was right to do it, he was also a big crybaby who tried to form a rightist bloc to take back power from Stalin. He felt he deserved the position because he was a hero and that should have immediately disqualified him.

Questionable. Why think that when it clearly failed? We must learn from past mistakes and adjust in future experiments or we'll fail too.
In my opinion their desire to help revolutions worldwide was a major factor in what brought them down. They should have developed first, become the hegemon and then launched such support. Hindsight is 20/20 of course though.
With that said it may still not have prevented a slime like Yeltsin getting in charge and betraying them. Everything was flawed from the moment Kruschev lied.
Yeah, permanent revolution is a questionable thing, but it makes sense and was a tactic adopted by the people who ousted Trotsky. I think China's strategy so far has been pretty good, support the successful revolutions against counter revolution instead of instigating revolution.
Which is wild because the Sino-Soviet split was over this and China was arguing for more direct intervention while the Soviets were arguing against direct intervention and they ended up doing the opposite.
