    Do you have charts that include all the soviets combined or just Russia? Russia practiced its own version of imperialism over Siberia, Ukraine, etc so showing charts titled "Russia" is telling. Would love to see life expectancy in Ukraine following the holodomor

    Why don't you take all this misplaced energy defending an authoritarian state with really excellent propaganda and use it to support a group actually doing some good like the Zapatistas or something

    Quibbling over the definition of "authoritarian" is kind of a red flag for a country that invented the term "gulag"

    Defending the Soviet Union in this way has the same energy as someone claiming that the Nazis actually did some really good scientific research

    "Pointing out that my epithet is categorically meaningless is a real red flag for a country that had -checks notes- prisons."

    Are you just doing spooky Slavic word association at this point?
