      You sound like you know better because you were there with Lenin. That is besides the fact that in almost 80 years a lot changed in USSR and what maybe was true at first, was not so in the end

        Or I’ve read books by scholars describing their systems and their evolution over time and it’s just not really worth arguing with a bunch of vaguely leftist dorks who think the fucking USSR wasn’t socialist because they were authoritarian.

        One of the two things.

          Which books? I’d love to read more on this topic. Maybe I’ll get some actual insight outside of “No, you’re wrong because I know what’s right, you dork”
