No one here is disputing the USSR was a bad place to live. I think that's an argument you want to have come up rather than an argument I'm making. I'm saying that the fusion of authoritarian government and leftism was both a tactic of the USA and the USSR for different reasons. That's not a novel idea, is been covered by a lot of historians. > But it is very interesting to read a comment like yours. Not for any reason other than to see the pure rage, saying literally nothing "intellectually honest" about the subject, but rather comparing people you disagree with to conspiracy theorists who believe in aliens. Rage? Okay. Your "freedom to" does not invalidate my "freedom from". I am not suppressing you in any way by exercising my right to say that I'm unintrested in your straw man.
