Re: The fall of the USSR
#2The great problem with most critiques of the USSR is that they do not explain its successes.
Why is it even remotely acceptable to speak of "successes" when the full context is that this nation murdered between 20-60 million human beings? Much of this occurred completely outside of a wartime context:

There will always be apologists for this system based on murder and monumental evil, where each generation lied to the next.
Russia was at the center of this abomination. For some reason the Russian people people never learned anything from 800 years of history. Today they continue to love their tyrants and embrace poverty, lies, murder and evil. We can only hope their moment of enlightenment is near.
