    Exactly, has nothing to do with liberalism. The soviet union under stalin literally felt threatened by a black square.

      The USSR was not particularly liberal, the people had very few rights. And tbf, that’s a pretty scary black square, and Stalin was afraid of a lot of things. So, I can see it.
