I get it the world sucks right now, but lets not forget about the USSR. WW2 was a defeat for fascism. It set back their movement and forced them to be much more discrete. That’s where liberalism came from. And much of the world was spared from them because of the USSR. Do we think the DPRK, China, Vietnam, Iran, or any other country that opposes US imperialism today would exist as it does if not for the USSR?
Fascism was not wiped from the earth during WW2, but the USSR bought us TIME. Time for other socialist projects to grow. Time for the USA to weaken. It set the fascist movement back DECADES. They were forced to focus on improving the material conditions of their people, and put on a friendly face because if they went mask off their people would see the USSR doing better, and overthrow them. So many countries had a chance to have anti-colonial movements because of this extra time.
Whether it had been Germany, or the USA if fascism had been allowed to grow unchallenged in the 40s-50s most of the world would have been defencless against it. Even as we speak Russia which is basically the rotting corpse of the USSR is giving the USA a hard time. Distracting it, and embarrassing it.
We need to remember just how bad things could have been, and be grateful for the red army that it’s not that way. Then we need to finish the job.
What Lenin did all those decades ago is the sole reason that half the world doesnt look like Gaza right now.
Here’s a stat i like to remind people of. 19.5% or so of the current world population lives in a socialist country. Nearly 1/5th of every human alive lives in a socialist nation. I think we forget that sometimes. Since the founding of the USSR that number has been trending up over time. It might not be the instantaneous world revolution of our dreams, but we are getting there.
