What assholes, liberating millions of feudal peasants and modernizing an entire country and eliminating hunger and poverty and spreading literacy and giving women rights and revolutionizing agriculture and medicine and defeating the nazis and inventing space travel and supporting liberation movements around the world. What absolute pricks.

Edit: just saw you lower down being relatively chill

    I was going to send a DM to cowbee, but it may be worth knowng for others. I'm a bit older and may be a "normie" leftist with moderate anti-cap views and have unexamined prejudices about the USSR. I liked what I read from Lenin/Marx (one work each, i know!) but don't like the reality of what I know of Stalin so don't want that association. After reading some more, I'll reexamine the USSR prejudices. So thanks to cowbee and folks who didn't assume malice
