Russia was a world super power between the end of the Napoleonic war and the Crimean war. They were the dominant land power in Europe.

As for no culture... they had some fantastic literature. Pushkin, Tolstoy and so on.

And communism only works compared to a feudal society like Tsarist Russia. Compare the USSR and capitalist America, and you'll find the USSR starts to fall behind technologically and in quality of life from the mid 60s onward.
>>
>>69395621
Also Communism doesn't work because it's against human nature. Greed, Ambition, Jealousy all exist and because of that Communism couldn't function in the real world.

Russia had some of the greatest literature of the 19th century and basically invented the modern novel. The only good books that came out of there after the revolution were ones that were critical of the regime.

Communism doesn't work because it got Russia to where it is now.

It comes with a price. Either you take progress slowly, or you force it, and make your country thinner by 100 million dead, ultimately prone to inevitable failure.

You make a choice.
>>
>>69395621
It was powerful, but for its citizen it wasn't all that great.
Excessive bureaucracy. Shortages. No variety. Very difficult to own a car. Nothing to do. No fancy electronic products. If you needed a plumber, the state would appoint one to you within one month and he wouldn't fix shit. Many things were supposed to be free, but in practice you had to pay with whiskey and chocolate (which was the real currency for the people) to get real service.
>>
>>69396229

Capitalism requires a small portion of the population to be greedy, ambitious, and jealous, and the rest of the people to sit there and take it.

Communism helps the class interests of the overwhelming majority, and in this regard is far more in tune with human nature.

It sounds like you honestly think that the most part of CEC of USSR didn't live like the royalty while the rest got by however they could.

Communism was good system but it was ruined by USA and Jews, no cucks or immigration, no problems. Then government started to believe their own bullshit, in freedom and cuck ideas.

Before there were no mosque no Islam on these countries. You could raise children, and they encourage White Russians to have children.

Not like this bullshit in USA where the Jews keep it expensive and do not educate the people.

It was shitty in Moscow. If you could move north life was much better and they paid more money. Most northern places had new infrastructure and you didn't have to fix anything for years. But people from Moscow are eternal faggots who would rather stay in worm climate and be residents of a capital and live in their shit hruschevkas or komunalkas.

You do realize the Monarchy also had these traits.
Plus, the workers initially were not treated like slaves but after Lenin died and Stalin began taking the reigns pretty much everyone was a slave. They earned very little money and the little money they earned couldn't really buy anything, cause commercialism was a capitalist view.
Also, peasants were still oppressed by the communists and were often killed because they only just missed the grain quota. Living standards went down because of the 5 year plans and people who had ancestors who were even mildly well off were often killed.
The whole idea of Communism also doesn't work because you need a figurehead to rule and that goes against the whole idea of communism. Yes, society was meant to become self-sufficient under communism and as such no leader would be needed, but human nature dictates that people are greedy and have a lust for power. In order for the communist idea to work, human nature it self would have to change and then, well, it is no longer human nature.

US military strategy is still stuck in Cold War mode where you have to buy people off to believe in your ideology. They just do it with democracy now instead of capitalism.

There was no "cultural Marxism" in the Soviet Union really that I remember, that was a western idea for western cucks.

Cucks could not stop complaining for minority rights and no one was abused. Then they come try to use propaganda and instill cultural Marxism in Russia. And Soviet were the bad guys?
