    USSR is one of the best things to happen in human history

    so unless you're trying to equate "socialism" with the re-establishment of God's paradisaical kingdom on Earth, then I do not see your point

        ignoring 20th century history and glossing over the achievements (or focusing solely on the contradictions/miscalculations) of former & existing ML projects is also fallacious & divorces the putative future of socialism from its very real & important past insights

        sorry this is wrong

        and I would say that if you feel that way about Soviet history in the aggregate, then you are buying biased Western historiography & anti-communist propaganda

        Stalin & Lenin didn't accomplish everything for the Soviet Union, the Soviet people did. The same is true of Mao & the people of PRC. I do not buy Great Man theory for a second, this is a bourgeois tendency &is intellectually bound up in capitalist/idealist notions.

        Demonizing the past and looking for ways to skirt around the very real obstacles that previous ML & socialist projects contended with is a recipe for proceeding in a pointless & doomed manner
