Of course.
I agree with that. But, I believe that there were gains made in the USSR and other debated socialist states that weren't there before their creation or after their fall, which I respect; primarily the absence of private industry, support for the third world, etc. However I see the faults ofthose states and think they were flawed implementations of socialism, and when I talk about socialism, i'm not talking about recreating those states. Just what I think. im not arguing or anything. just discussing. if that even still exists on this site. :P
but someone so radically against the USSR, it struck me as a little odd.
alright...im saying this entirely unbiased - but for someone who's as anti-USSR as you, I find your avatar somewhat odd...
