  29.  @sourdough6490      well again you seem to forget the material conditions of the Soviets that they had during the times of the revolution and the great war, the NEP policies directly lead to the creation of the Kulaks which although was originally supposed to carry on a industrial revolution of their own which also includes collectivisation that Stalin did, so the Kulaks were opportunists who took advantage of a already agrarian country and tried monopolizing their resources which they should be held accountable for and you can't claim the Soviets methods were harsh especially when the Gulags they were sent in were much better than anything the US regime has with proper healthcare and basic necessities fulfilled You can't really call yourself a Leninist if you don't ever consider the material conditions that were present in the Soviet Union, the social democrats and the Mensheviks directly were in collaboration with the Tsars again the Bolsheviks which required the kind of policing against any monopolistic tendencies among the masses created by remaining Tsar royalists who were still not educated enough on class consciousness and had a lot of petit bourgeois class created cause of the NEP policies Again the NEP itself was a huge compromise done by the Soviets who were directly facing serious invasion threats from foreign powers and were exhausted fighting the civil war against the White Army Speaking of which you seem to forget the Jim Crow era where black people were literally lynched and hunted down for minor crimes especially when the KKK movement was much larger than today so the CIA is nothing compared to how the US was before the 1950s so there's literally no comparison made against the Soviets who actually tried to maintain a working class socialist state and tried to prevent any opportunists from gaining monopoly over especially when many of them were outright funded by foreign powers especially with the black markets always been a challenge after they abolished private property and carried out collectivisation policies There's literally no evidence of any kind of misuse of class power in the Soviet Union other than very rare cases which only happened during the harshest times like the famine, the war with Nazis and after the period following the civil war While the US regime actively chose to commit human rights violations and still do to this day and break the record against any country present, especially against black people and minorities and in foreign countries where their war crimes are infamous and documented already, the Soviets really had no serious history of human rights violations other than defensive and retaliatory measures they had taken while facing constant threats from the US regime and Nazi Germany which sought to exterminate their entire race I'm sorry but the history regarding red terror,the implementation of certain policies which you claim have been violent are all propagandistic made to demonize the Soviets as no different than the US regime which they are far from being called that

  30.  @sourdough6490  your last point about insistence on building socialism in an agrarian country is literally just dismissal of the fact that in developed countries, socialism was met with fascism like the video you see there, you seem to use the argument of socialism in all countries and claim that the Soviets should have kept waiting for the Germans and other Scandinavian countries to be successful in their socialist revolution, but the reality was far from what was idealised and only the Soviets went ahead with building socialism in one country as Marxism still never had a true answer towards Fascism Expecting socialism to be developed on advanced countries is still a pipe dream which socialists still fail to understand as Fascism at those times in every country crushed any serious revolutionary potential that was carried, ask the Paris commune how their revolution went and the German revolution too, they were met with fascists who completely dismantled their organisation all because they never built up any serious organisation and a sufficient military force or created any dictatorship of the Proliteriat to enact these forces Lenin and the Soviets were successful as they had developed a proper organisation which was harsh enough to combat Fascism which was exactly the solution back then and the same thing done by Stalin who implemented the teachings of Lenin into practice,Fascism crushed any serious Marxist movement and still does to this day put out any working class movement, and making concessions with the bourgeois never ended well for the revolutionaries and even small scale attacks towards the bourgeois is pointless especially when the bourgeois has always had enough military power to put them down too The Soviets had a stricter police force and anti capitalist ideology as they understood that any form of monopoly created by opportunists within the working class itself has in the past led to many socialist states collapsing like with Vietnam which turned revisionist after Ho Chi Minh died but even then their policies towards those arrested was not nearly close to being as worse as the US Empire which still to this day employs prison labour with no benefits, insufficient healthcare as prisoners usually die of curable diseases and serious gang violence within the prisons themselves which is encouraged by law enforcement within as to justify harsher sentences while for the Soviets the so called "Gulags" the sentencing did not even last 10-20 years and only worst offenders of the state actually got serious sentences and all the while they received free healthcare, education systems being employed and other stuff which never gets mentioned in the "horrors of the Gulags" The Soviets only had poorer conditions in the Gulags during the times of the famine or during ww2 where there was serious food shortages and thousands of prisoners died cause of it which these separate incidents are obviously propagandized to make the Soviets obviously look like the boogeyman, sure there were some serious flaws within the Soviet policing systems but considering the situations they were in and then claiming they should be held completely accountable for circumstances beyond their control is just false rhetoric used by the capitalists obviously to demonize any socialist states from the past
