        the USSR was not communist.

        you could even say it was slightly MORE capitalist than most western countries at that time.

        it was state capitalist

              No, it was not. We went over this already, the economy of the Soviet Union was overwhelmingly publicly owned and planned under a worker state. Its economy was nothing like state capitalist countries like the ROK or US.

          What are you talking about? USSR was the world’s flagship country governed by Communist Party under Marxism-Leninism.

          It pretty much influenced China and rest of the communist countries around the world.

          You can argue that Marxism-Leninism is not what Marx talked about, and because of that it wasn’t a real communism, but with that definition there isn’t a recognized communist country that wasn’t influenced by Marxism-Leninism.

        How horrible it must’ve been to contain their nazism for a few decades after losing the war.
        Glad they can fully show their true colors again.
