“I spoke to locals”. And so have sociologists. Most Soviet states have around a 60% regret for the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It has its evils. A state is bount to rack them up. But the Soviet Union was better for its people before it and it’s people wishes it never went away.
This doesn’t absolve it of it’s crimes. But why does it’s crimes need to be brought up every time in the same breath? Imagine every time you talked about America that someone just shit canned you for every crime of its state. It’s infuriating, and allows for no actual conversation.
But sure, keep pretending like you don’t weight them differently.
Well, it’s not like they are seperste things now, are they. The communist regime was able to hold power by keeping people poor, state propaganda, corruption, deportation, spying on everyone, prevent anyone from escaping their borders, etc. All aspects of a dictatorship. All intertwined into what the USSR was. It’s not like it’s communism was completely disconnected from the regime. So that’s why I bring it up. The same happens in the DPRK, China, Cuba. Show me a working communist state where there’s no dictatorial regime. Communism only works when everyone agrees to it, so it only works on small scales like communities where people choose to live.
The theory works, but didn’t calculate in the human factor.
I believe a socialist state is the only sollution to a proper working society but not in the form of communism. It only survived on a large scale under strict dictatorial regimes.
