You’re an incredibly ignorant individual. USSR was never allowed to develop peacefully. It was invaded by western powers in 1918 right after its formation, then it was plunged into WW2, and after that the Cold War. Saying that the fall of USSR was squarely caused by themselves is the height of idiocy. The west forced USSR into spending incredible amounts of productive power in order to simply to be allowed to exist. It’s also worth noting that the collapse was in no way inevitable, and largely a result of Gorbachev’s privatization and liberalization policies. The west was also directly involved in propping up Yeltsin and suppressing communism after Russia opened up.

And Lenin’s and Stalin’s policies of State capitalism and abolition of communism as practiced by the soviets since early 1917. Lenin and his fellow psychopath Trotsky are the ones who truly ruined any hope of communism in Russia by producing a “dictatorship of the proletariat” in which a new class of rulers watched over workers for whom life conditions barely changed, which is arguably not a “stateless, classless society” (what communism is about).

This comment is so incoherent, I don’t even really know where to begin addressing it.
