Lol no. USSR by definition was not communist, only by it’s name. Look up what communism actually is. It has no central government for starters. This is why it’s hard for me to even refer to USSR as communists, they were a socialist state.
The S in USSR is “Socialist”. You could say that Communism is the end goal (stateless, classless), and socialism is the transitional stage, but USSR never reached communism, they only had a party that called themselves communist party of socialist state
Correct, which is why I am mocking the liberal who thinks socialism is European style social democracy and AES are evil oppressive places because “communist application of oppressive law”
Socialism is about the power dynamic, rich people giving to charity isn’t socialism, nor is capital setting up a minimal welfare state to prevent a revolution, which capital then recinds as the threat is removed.
You are not a socialist, you want to maintain the institution of capitaliam, that makes definitionly a liberal.
Don’t tag me with American pidgeonholes
This isn’t some weird American usage of liberal, this is the way its been used for 200 years or so.
Communism is when you’re oppressive for no reason at all.

Communism is flawed because it is exploited easily by bad actors. Grow up and accept that.
