Like even in the best of scenarios where the left isn't destroyed but can actually summon some form of revolutionary energy against capital, what is to prevent most capital investment from leaving the country as the winds begin to turn?

Is there good theory out there on how to prevent capital flight? Are there capital controls that don't simultaneously provoke capital flight?

    lastly in a revolutionary context, the capitalists aren’t fleeing with drill presses and tractors, they’re fleeing with jewellery and soon to be worthless currency.

    This is the thing. Tell them they can't take the drill presses with them and don't let them go full Kulak on the drill presses. I just figure that if Saudi Arabia don't got me, South America and China got me.

      Yeah, secure means of production and supplies, then revolt. You're interacting with that stuff every day, they're not.
