Because you posted him with no context. It wasn’t clear you meant Russia.
but modern day Russia has inherited a lot of policies and values from them.
I’d disagree with that. They inherited autocracy, but it’s not even a vaguely similar model of it. In a lot of ways current Russia is a backlash to the USSR, although they shoehorn communist stuff together with Tsarist stuff and everything else from even earlier to pretend they have some kind of ideology.
They still see the West as enemies or at least competition, though, that’s true.
Well, they kept a few of the design bureaus, I guess.
When their whole economic model was obviously failing, I think the West thought they’d give up on Marx, when in reality they just decided to become the bad guys from Marx.
Uh, it’s literally the First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from the time that he was in power.
“No context”
Fkin lol. You can’t be serious?
You’ll probably disagree with Putler being wanted by the ICC for warcrimes as well? Or at least make some excuse for how he’s not responsible or how the ICC or the UN are somehow the bad guys or smth?
Yeah, and I was wondering if this was a “commie democrats” thing. Russia isn’t my first association, or even my second. He was even from Ukraine.

No, Putin is shit and I hope he ends up in the Hague where he belongs.

Thank you for confirming that. I know it’s a bitch when people assume shit, but you know, you can never know. So, thanks. Even if you are Russian. Or rather especially if you are. Like I doubt it, from context, but if you were.
Khrushchev may have been originally Ukrainian, but that doesn’t really mean that much.
Who the fuck wouldn’t associate Khrushchev with Russia or the Cold War in general? Who would be the “we” in that if not Soviet Russia? Stop writing in Bad Faith. And I capitalise that on purpose.
Let me help you learn something. If I posted about a random person who know-one knows, saying something random, that would be “without context”. However if I posted a picture of Obama saying “we will find Osama Bin Laden”, you probably wouldn’t say “there’s no context we can’t know who the ‘we’ is in that quote”, would you?
So I’m puzzled why you’d make such a bad faith argument over this. Did you know really not know who Khrushchev was?

Yeah modern Russia scrapped everything of value from the Soviets.

Because it’s an incantation to you?
I’d be inclined to respond and explain further, but I don’t think learning and understanding is the point of this exchange anymore. Bye.
