  1.  @jason4275  Newsflash: Not every country that was non-democratic was part of the USSR. Not even close.

  2. ​ @jason4275  Newsflash: Not every country that doesn't have a free press, free trade with the west, a democratic government and is not part of NATO, is automatically part of the USSR. Case in point - China has all of those qualities, and has never been part of the USSR, nor is even claimed to be so. And that's just one example among many. Like what kind of warped logic are you even working of of here? Are countries even their own entities to you, able to forge their own paths? Now I'm wondering how you think of people next. Do you just put them all into a preset list of pre-defined tribal categories or something? The nations that were actually part of the USSR are known. You don't get to just lump every other authoritarian nation in there willy nilly. That's like saying since gold is an element, every other gold colored thing is also an element.
