No they didn’t. They made everyone but a small group of leaders poor, and redefined poverty

Nope, wealth disparity drastically decreased when compared to Tsarism and later Capitalism. In addition, Soviet workers had extensive safety nets, like free healthcare, education, more vacation days and fewer working hours than the US, and high home ownership rates.

They didn’t have an abundance of luxuries, but they did reduce poverty drastically.

  1. What makes someone a tankie? Being a Marxist?

  2. Don’t idolize Stalin, so wrong there

  3. People were not worked to death in Gulags because they were Jewish, Double Genocide Theory is a form of Holocaust Denial that was put forth by Nazis in the years following WWII.

  4. Doctors were not worked to death in Gulags for being doctors, what are you talking about?

None of your comment makes any sense.
