Lenin supported the idea of self-determination for different countries because he believed that it would inspire and encourage the spread of socialism. By allowing nations to determine their own political futures, he hoped that they would eventually adopt socialist principles, similar to those in Russia. This belief aligned with the broader revolutionary goals of promoting global socialist movements and fostering international solidarity among the working class.
