      Is this the same Soviet regime that ran a totalitarian society whose primary difference from fascism was the coat of red paint? The same Soviet regime that itself collapsed into modern Russia?

          Uh, here I thought being a fascist society or collapsing into a fascist society might disqualify a country from the title of “Held off fascism indefinitely”, but uh, you do you I guess.

            Just because all major communist efforts in recent history ultimately manifest as totalitarian horror shows as a matter of course doesn’t mean it isn’t cooler than those stupid lapel flag pins. I mean. The music is pretty good.
