    That’s because you didn’t live in the USSR. The USSR was a real hell hole. Everyone who supports communism is an enemy of a human race.

      The USSR came with many huge benefits, like doubling of life expectancy, free and high quality education, healthcare, and childcare, an expansion in women’s rights and democratization of the economy, and more. It also had numerous problems, but that doesn’t change that it was the first Socialist state, and Socialism is the way to go, eventually Communism.

          The Black Book of Communism was debunked long ago, from including Nazis killed during World War II as “victims of Communism” to literally making up numbers to get to 100 million dead to being outright disproven once the Soviet Archives were opened up.
