    And a relevant passage from This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong

      Well, USSR wasn’t really dictatorship of proletariat, but rather dictatorship of party leader(s) and the KGB

        The government in USSR very much represented the working class. Maybe actually spend a bit of time learning about USSR instead of regurgitating propaganda points you’ve memorized?

        edit: I love how mad libs of lemmy get when faced with basic historical facts

      How frustrating. I can’t seem to find a paper copy of this book for sale anywhere. There’s an archived copy online which seems really interesting: https://archive.org/details/this-soviet-world/page/173/mode/2up

          Thank you for transcribing a better version. Reading over the agriculture section it seems fascinating.

      That part about gold being impossible to depose didn’t age well. 😢
