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
