  • Okay, it wasn't socialist though.

    Also why are MLoids always putting up these desperate defensive posts about the USSR or Stalin when they aren't relevent politically anymore and nobody asked about or gives a shit about your favorite state-capitalist model.

    • something that looks like Trotskyism, sounds like Trotskyism, smells like Trotskyism...

      Anyway answering your question, the reason behind such post is just defense against misleading info about ussr that is still actively spreading despite ussr is dead for 30 years.

      • Are the Trotskyists in the room with us right now?

        Lmao Trotsky didn't call the USSR capitalist. He called it a "degenerated worker's state" (a category he made up) and thought all that was necessary was for the bureaucracy to be overthrown and for him to be put in charge. The trajectory of the USSR wouldn't have turned out much different.

        Of course you're probably learning this for the first time and you're just using Trotskyism as some kind of weird insult lol.
