Comintern factional balance gave national parties policy autonomy before 1926

Evidence

The upshot of this complex situation seems to have been that Zinoviev on the one hand and the Bukharinist Right on the other effectively cancelled each other out for this period, with the result that it was possible for “leftist” policies in countries like Germany and Italy to coexist with “rightist” policies in countries like China, the United States, Britain or Yugoslavia. In each case, the determining factors were national rather than international. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 171

• QUESTION: This claim that national factors determined Comintern policy seems to sit in tension with the Russia-determining-factor framing at 169; worth reconciling the periodization.
• XREF: connects to: National party lines could diverge from shifting Comintern strategy in the mid-1920s — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 170; Factional allegiance to the Comintern line determined Italian party leadership calculations
