Leadership Incompetence, poor supply and logistics routes, shitty communications between forces, incoherent ideologies of the white movement, and general dislike of continuing fighting after finishing ww1
But also most of the support from the imperialists was not direct intervention, rather supplying and advising White Armies. The only country that wasn't war weary was the US and we only sent soldiers to Archangel under British officers (I believe some of the American soldiers there actually supported the revolution but I lost my source). The Bolsheviks were almost right about every capitalist power being about to explode in revolution so it was smarter to disarm.
The Czechs didn't even become a country until after the intervention was well underway. The Czechoslovak legion fought its way through Russia to get to Poland IIRC, so not like it counts as a real allied power any more than Poland

I imagine it's difficult to defeat an insurgency like the taliban but in a country the size of russia
They werent really an insurgency by that point
