      No wonder then that 90% of the Soviet population voted to stay in the Union, but of course that didn’t stop its overthrow because capitalists had already taken it over by then.

      A poll in 2009

      As time passes though, the capitalist propaganda that kids in these places grow up with will probably start to outweigh the lived experiences of worsened living conditions after capitalists overthrew the USSR that their parents had. It’s sad.

      Funny you focus on whatever this is and conveniently ignore the millions murdered by the state.

      I’m here because my family escaped that shit.

        Is it a bad thing to highlight that wealth disparity dramatically shrank in the USSR and dramatically increased in the Russian Federation?

        and conveniently ignore the millions murdered by the state.

        Are you referring to Nazi sympathizers, the Tsarist White Army, or Capitalist insurgents?

            What “other tens of millions?” Where are you getting those numbers, the Black Book of Communism, which was debunked by its own writers?

            Must be easy to be a right-winger, you can conjure numbers out of thin-air and positions on vibes, rather than actually look at history in any capacity.

                Doesn’t seem like you care about any facts of history, lol, to the point where you call Nazis “innocents” and pretend the USSR had famines during the Space Race.

                Read Blackshirts and Reds. Or, don’t, just remain a clueless right-winger rewriting history as the US Empire crumbles around you.

        Exactly. This is probably a moron who read about USSR on facebook. Those were horrible times full of oppression and corruption. I was raised in one of the sattelite countries and no. Those were bad very bad times unless you were a child of a small corrupted russian boot licker.
