I highly doubt USSR 1930s onwards was ever an attempt to make socialism work. Especially after Lenin's death.

The remark about USSR being only an attempt at communism is verbose, and questionably required. I never attacked socialism's ideas.

Just by numbers, a lot more innocents' murdering happened in Soviet Union. Double digit millions if not more over its existence. There is just no whataboutism that can save that piece of fascist wreck of a state.

I merely wanted the idea by @uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone that the Soviet Union "Had good ideas" to die in a fire.

Otherwise, good points.

In my top-of-thread comment, I didn't mention the USSR at all other than to say it was trying something other than capitalism, and that trying something else was inspiring Americans in the early 20th century. Now I suspect you're not engaged in this dialogue in good faith.
