Go check those living quarters they had lol, and food queues, and how well the health care worked if you had nothing to bribe with. Those sweet shortages of everything.
You should talk to someone who actually lived in the “union” and stop slurping kremlin propaganda. But will you? I wouldn’t bet on it.
Even if i dont check and just believe what you wrote, it still beats the shit out of the situation a ton of us are in right now (also that was literally 34+ yrs ago. Life was different then AND the country was recovering from tons of shit). Not to speak of the countries that make our ill gotten comfort possible too. And just to clarify, present day russia is not communist or socialist. they’re as capitalist as the western states are. They are no better and no worse in terms of inequality.
The important part, will you have a respectful discussion or do I have to block you?
Respect means you acknowledge my arguments. Just backing off on the insults a bit (but not fully) isnt cutting it. Respectful discussion is addressing people’s arguments as well as not insulting them or their intelligence.
I will definitely take the time and check things that are brought forward. Saying “just because shit was bad back then means exactly that, not that the system it was in was shit.” isnt the same as sticking fingers in ones ears and singing lalala. Doing as if that were the case is just abusive rhetoric.
Because shit is horrendous today as well: Fentanyl hordes, people freezing to death on the streets, protesters shot, people deported to concentration camps, genocide, media spewing propaganda, most of the population living paycheck to paycheck, guantanamo. Most of the examples are US but the EU is only marginally different and catching up fast.
There is no such thing as a perfect system. Gulags alone are no sole cause for dismissal same as guantanamo is.
I don’t acknowledge your arguments because the boil down to whataboutism, “it was a long time ago” and other fallacies.
Then you goalpoast-move and try to say I don’t like socialism lol. If you think the USSR was socialist I have a bridge to sell you.
BTW what bout you acknowledge my arguments? Based on historical facts? Nah guess you doesn’t like what you’d read.
URSS was an authororian crap “union” and Russia is trying to become as bad, hopefully Russian will go the same way and be dismantled ASAP so their citisens can finally live in a free country.
Also Europe is on the brink of collapse or something? ROFL I live here. But you don’t seems to be interested in facts.

Man, it Ended 34 years ago, check out how life was in the eighties in URSS. Or seventies. The gulag vas so nice.
Today it’s an autocracy, people earn 200€ a month and goes to prison for nothing, what a glorious place.
But I’m probably talking in the wind here, you don’t seems to be interested in knowing right or wrong:
If you want to know, do check.
And thats what I meant.

Yeah, I didnt think you would be able to defend against any of it.
But since you’re still being condescending, this conversation is now over.
I will check the stuff you mentioned because, unlike you, I have no issue with being corrected.
Good luck with your attitude mate.
