Where I live the Soviet flag will never fly.Tyrannical dictators much like the thousands of years of monarchies which killed people also..The commies of had to fight the Germans which held parts of Russia from winning it through concessions and military victories in WWI and for a peace treaty with Germany. They had to fight White Russians and an allied force which included the US. So they had to fight or die like any movement.Including communist Russia?
Well it wasn't real communism it was more a military dictatorship.
And the right is determined by the victors not the vanquished.
That's got to be the first time I've read someone say "not real communism" unironically.
Anyway, wasn't Russia already a pretty well established nation with like, roads and cities and everything before the Commies rolled into town? And I don't feel any more sympathy for those centuries-dead native Americans than I do for all the people Genghis Khan's Mongol hordes trampled to death.
It wasn't real communism because the workers had no part in deciding the means of production or the distribution. The Kremlin did that.
What about Pol Pot and Mao? Just another case of "not real Communism"? Well, maybe old uncle Adolph failed at fascism and we should give the real thing a try soon.
There's not a lot of people in workers unions and on college campuses wishing for a return to Monarchy though...
If there was any justice in this world, displaying the hammer and sickle in public would be just as taboo as the swastika.
