Workers had more power and say in democracy in the USSR then they have ever had in a Western capitalist country, and American police are more brutal, more violent, more repressive, and kill more people than any “strong men” under Stalin. You’ve consumed too much anti-communist propaganda.
No, me and my family lived under Soviet rule in an annexed satellite state. Workers had no power here, people who were friendly to high ranking party members had power and if workers did not comply they got sent to slave camps in siberia where they were not likely to return.
I really don’t care about the US and it’s quite weird how literally everyone who is trying to paint the USSR in a good light says that with no prompting. Like lung cancer is also bad but bringing that up in every single conversation about anything is weird.
Was Stalin the president of the US? Is the US the leader of socialism or something? The US has nothing to do with socialism, like I have been part of my local anarchist group for years and no one has ever even mentioned the US.

What decade were you born in?
1993 every time. They always “know” what the USSR was like better than their tankie grandparents
Yup, it’s shocking how consistent it is.
My sibling in Christ you mentioned Stalin, a leader of the USSR, and this entire thread is about socialist states

Are you seriously not aware of what the US has been doing to crush left-wing movements around the world for the last 80 years?
When and where did you live in a SSR?
