    russia saw one of the biggest jumps in quality of life for its citizens in recorded history.

    we tried taxing the rich, they are dismantling these in the world as we speak and they will keep doing it again and again as long as we let them exist as a class.

    capitalism is obsolete.

      Either you are joking or you are very stupid. Or perhaps you are one of Putin’s little puppets, trying to recontextualize the USSR and the various atrocities it committed against its own people.

      Regardless, you are very very wrong.

      Edit: and now I’m remembering how many tankies reside here on Lemmy.

          So, stupid it is. Putin is a USSR glorifier. He continually puts out propaganda about how great Russia was under the banner of the USSR. His whole reasoning in invading Ukraine and Crimea is to re-integrate them as they were before the fall of the Berlin wall.

            He glorifies it so much that’s he criticize communism a lot.

            He just want the land dude, he is a oligarch, a reactionary. The actual government is not communist.

                What you the chosen one who defies the historians calls the USSR government?

                If it’s socialism OK, I can give you that.

                  Look up the meaning of communism and then look up how the “Communist” government of the USSR was run and compare the two. Then maybe you’ll actually have a clue. Oh and, you and your tankie friends can downvote me all you like. It won’t really matter.
