  1. Pretty much.

  2. But he was still a Soviet-backed puppet.

  3. Exactly. Especially the Baltics.

  4. Lay off the Soviet propaganda.

  5.  @hereLiesThisTroper  Just like all of his successors, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc.

  6.  @redemptionz5012  And needed capitalism just to give it the illusion of socialism/communism being a viable and sustainable system.

  7. Advocating their own subjugation and death like the useful idiots they are.

  8. Yep.

  9. How dare he grant the people freedom and independence from Soviet tyranny?

  10. LOL. No one in the Baltics or Eastern Europe miss the USSR or communism. You must be talking about Central Asia and the solid number of Russians that live there.

  11. There's no propaganda here. No one wanted anything to do with the USSR except Kremlin stooges and the free-stuff crowd.

  12. Provided it can get 38 states to agree to secession.
    1
  13. Only because of the heavy Russian presence to drown out the native Kazakhs and a leadership deathly afraid of losing their power and privileges granted by the Soviet regime.

  14. Better than pro-Soviet propaganda.
    1
  15. LOL. Don't be naive. <it would've given communism a much better reputation,> Like Mao-era China and Cambodia?
    1
  16. LOL. The USSR was every bit as exploitative and power-hungry. <but in cooperation and fraternity.> At gun-point as it was imposed on its neighbors it annexed. <Unfortunately, the communist experiment went all wrong and there aren't any real alternatives to the system today.> And rightfully so as it was a system based on delusions of grandeur, idealism that has no basis in reality and a naive understanding of humanity which can only be achieved by violence and deception.

  17. Nice story.

  18. North Korea as a buffer between China and the US via South Korea. Before, it was a Soviet outpost.

  19. Poland and the Baltics are not starving nor are they poor.
    1
  20. Exactly. But Red China killed more than both the Soviets and Nazis. And Pol Pot killed more people per capita.
    1
  21.  @emaminek_3178  Exactly.
    1
  22.  @ssvx5243  Which are namely Central Asian countries.
    1
  23.  @mattmisanthropy.  And who would those vast majority be? Because they're sure not from Eastern Europe or the Baltics.
    1
  24. Exactly.
    1
  25. Namely because the native Kazakhs were outnumbered by the Russian outsiders via the Politburo's migration policies to drown out the native's voice.
    1
  26. LOL. According to Erich Honecker. Not the average East German.
    1
  27. No. It was communism being the non-viable and unsustainable system it was running its natural course.
    1
  28.  @ultrak0w  And who are you? Bernie Sanders?
    1
  29.  @ultrak0w  Like you.

  30. Indeed. Most of their territory came by forced annexations and conquest yet they preached anti-imperialism.

  31. Communist to the core to the point of denouncing the USSR for not being communist enough.
    1
  32. God forbid if Tibet and Hong Kong were granted political freedom like the Baltics and Eastern Europe.
    1
  33. I say Chernobyl and losing the Afghanistan War was the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union.
    1
  34. And Iceland.
    1
  35. Not really.
    1
  36. Because it's just a region of Moldova.
    1
  37. But no less repressive.
    1
  38. African and Latin American "freedom" fighters still blaming colonialism/imperialism for a lot of their continents' woes largely caused by their own inept and corrupt leadership.
    1
  39. Not nearly as evil as Lenin, Stalin or Brezhnev.
    1
  40. LOL
    1
  41. LOL.
    1
  42. But Poland is a hell lot better off now with its "fascist regime" than it was with the Soviet-imposed communist regime that set the country back.
    1
  43. Still haven't gotten over Churchill, huh?
    1
  44. And yet until 1993, India suffered all the same.

  45.  @luke.4317  But communism is dictatorial as it doesn't allow dissent especially by those with something going for them who want nothing to do with communism.
