The Soviet Union got ganged up on by all the capitalist countries because everyone was scared shitless of socialism, all the super rich made sure they were attacked in any way possible, at one point they were fighting on 17 different fronts with the largest standing army the world has ever seen.
All of those attacks I believe led to their army gaming an outsized power that allowed them to seize control with a strong man and turning the government against what it should have been.
Stalin was a monster by all accounts. Maybe if Lennon or Trotsky were leading things it could have been different. Trotsky who got ice picked in the head by an assassin in Mexico City at a speech he was giving, by stalin’s agent.
As to the Democratic conventions, it was all fixed. There was some degree of voting at the beginning right after the revolution, the Bolsheviks got elected and then they got voted out the next Congress or whatever they called it and they kept power. Very few if any of their elections were honest to my knowledge.

Stalin was elected. Want sources/information? We have entire threads on this if you’re curious to actually entertain the thought of an alternative viewpoint.

Most of us are Stalinists.

More of a trotsky fan myself. I do like fidel castro though.
Cuba has the same dynamic, you got held up on the definitions and missed my point.
By being attacked every which way cuba had to have robust secirity services and keep a close watch on everyone because of fuckery from without, and that leads them to having a less free society, further alienating the world from forms of state control of key industries the private sector cannot be trusted to run to meet society’s needs.
But what do you care what I think? I never would have argued if I knew you were not super sensitive/cynical politically correct liberal democrat sheep in the US. In that context it was my duty to tell them off. As it is, not my duty or business and I see how the comment would upset in ylur context.
Long story short, who gives a shit? Flippant comment on a subject we both agree on, that us polits are p’s os, let us leave it at that.
Read a history book. John Lennon, leader of the Beatles, was an avowed Stalinist and anti-Maoist, so he established the Soviet Union in order to cause the Sino-Soviet split

Okay this has to be a bit lmao
Yeah that caught my attention too. Fucking bravo. Check my comment history; have we noticed a weird satirical trend lately?
Idk I think they’re just a confused radlib with Maher-ite anti-woke tendencies
Not saying they’re fed, just wondering if there’s like a group of maherite liberals wandering around on here for some reason.
