The early USSR policies built strong socialists foundations, without a highly developed industry to produce material wealth there is no possibility of a socialist future, only of an abundance of povery.
This "destroyed any hope of a socialist democracy" comes from the mislead idealists that wanted the "war communism" implemented during the civil war to continue, which would've lead to a catastrophe of gargantuan proportions a couple of decades later with the invasion of Nazi Germany.
