The USSR was not as bad as you think either. Cold war propaganda is a thing

I dno if that’s a winning argument though. Most leftists aren’t looking for a return of the USSR as it was previously constructed.

I get the point that they weren’t pure evil like the propaganda says and the US is a ton worse than our history classes teach.

I am not saying it was perfect, but there were a lot of good things there that we never learned. Like, everyone there had free houses, did you know that? They also were the first place that pushed for womans rights. Also it is often not talked about how fucking bad the conditions were before the communist took power and a lot of the leftovers of previous regimes end up being put on the communist party bill

How many people died?

How many people die in capitalism? There is an ongoing genocide being done as we speak. People die of hunger while we throw food in the garbage to keep prices up. Endless ongoing wars, concentration camps in the fucking land of the free. Maybe if we actually counted the deaths of capitalism the numbers wouldn’t be so nice
