Regarding late Soviet Union

Hi everyone, I'm new to posting and quite new to theory as well. Using this sub mainly for memes but I wanted to share an opinion of mine which I've developed. I'm not sure how the fall of the so called Eastern bloc is regarded in the Internationalist tendency, but I'm starting to think that it has to be cheered. Not because the people's democratic bourgeois states become liberal democracy, and their national ""oligarchs"" became national bourgeois, but mainly because the image of such states has damaged (as USSR in general did) the image of Marxism in a seemingly unreversible way (which isn't actually unreversible tho). I understand that the change wasn't really that much of a thing, it expanded the western imperialist bloc, crippling the Eastern, and also it wasn't to be cheered as still was an expansion of an imperialist power. But still, the stalinist and post-stalinist renegade cliques has destroyed the image of Marxism, and given the nature of such states as imperialist and bourgeois dictatorship I'm quite glad they fell. China today stands still as an example of what those states were and could've become, the movement has been completely damaged and more china's like states would just had been worse.

So, I wonder what y'all actually think about this, maybe it was an obvious conclusion or I'm just wrong, I'm just interested to understand the correct position.
