Absolutely hilarious that you presume to tell somebody who actually grew up in USSR that they're delusional about USSR. You are an absolute and utter clown.

This is just even more sad if you really did grow up in the USSR

The only thing that's sad is ignorant westoids thinking they know better than people who actually have direct lived experience.

@yogthos @Sabre363 I've also grown up in the USSR but the image you posted is an absolute false equivalency. While it can be argued that the idea of a communist state is quite liberal, Stalin does not represent that idea. He was an autocratic tyrant and a murderer. To equate the US Liberal movement to Stalin is a grave disservice to the liberal cause.

When you spew more right wing bullshit than the CIA

Even in Stalin's time there was collective leadership. The Western idea of a dictator within the Communist setup is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by a lack of comprehension of the real nature and organization of the Communist's power structure.

CIA. (1953, declassified in 2008). Comments on the Change in Soviet Leadership
