2 things:

1. The victors write history

2. After Lenin the USSR was not really communist anymore but more really a totalitarian state that didn’t believe in the values of communism. Just like China.

Everything would probably have been better if Lenin didn’t die so fast and then Trotsky would have ruled.

LOL, I knew this sub was digging for old memes but bringing back actual red-baiting? chef’s kiss

Considering that the USSR only claimed to be socialist and used propaganda (in accord with the US) to convince the people that state control is the same as worker’s control over the means of production (it isn’t), the girl is probably correct.

Ah yes, “communism”. Op show me 1 country with communism. Dictatorship with ‘communism’ in their name don’t count.

… apart from that it’s also most unlikely it’s 14 year old girls who are the people writing this in online discussions.
