    So, stupid it is. Putin is a USSR glorifier. He continually puts out propaganda about how great Russia was under the banner of the USSR. His whole reasoning in invading Ukraine and Crimea is to re-integrate them as they were before the fall of the Berlin wall.

      He glorifies it so much that’s he criticize communism a lot.

      He just want the land dude, he is a oligarch, a reactionary. The actual government is not communist.

          What you the chosen one who defies the historians calls the USSR government?

          If it’s socialism OK, I can give you that.

            Look up the meaning of communism and then look up how the “Communist” government of the USSR was run and compare the two. Then maybe you’ll actually have a clue. Oh and, you and your tankie friends can downvote me all you like. It won’t really matter.

                When Joseph Stalin killed millions of Russians I don’t think it was a matter of opinion that life in the USSR was objectively terrible. And now with Vladimir Putin trying to put the USSR back together by bathing himself and the entire Eastern Bloc in blood and has literally outlawed not only lgbtq but any differing opinions to his own, I don’t think it’s a matter of opinion that life in Russia really fucking sucks. But hey, you do you.

                  A communist country doesn’t mean is not free from sins, is not a utopia is a social construct that needs constant effort to be afloat. URSS and Stalin did a lot of shit, but the worst communist implementation is still equal or better than the best capitalist country.

                  URSS do shit and Putin do shit doesn’t mean they both are the same type of government, that’s doesn’t make any sense.

                  Again what type of URSS government are? If not communism what is? You only give your opinion about how bad at times they went but what your fucking answer?

                    Lots to unpack here. One, communism isn’t a type of government, it’s an socioeconomical system. Two, the question was whether the Russian quality of life was very good after the communist revolution. I said it was not, because of the whole slaughtering of the citizens and the removal of sovereign personal rights and all. Three, Putin is nostalgic for the USSR. This is widely known. He wants to reunite the Easter bloc and reform something resembling the former USSR. He’s half way there already. Just consider the fact that there’s no such thing as a free election there anymore.

                    You need to take a good deep look inward and maybe read up on some shit. Cause you are all kinds of mixed up.
