nice standards of living, all citizens working for the benefit of not only themselves as individuals but for all citizens of the state AND the state itself
+ it went from a backwards country with a majority of its people living in mud huts to being one of the worlds greatest powers who've launched the first man, woman and dog into space
you were safe while walking at night, people of differing races, genders etc enjoyed much more freedom |

| Don't really know much about it, but the concept of communism in general is a rather pretty idea. And we'll probably end up becoming communist one day or another. |

daily reminder that gulags were meant for actual criminals and treasoners, and they didn't just throw any random citizen in there, contrary to what the west would like you to believe daily reminder that stalin tried his absolute best to help as many people as possible during the famine and didn't commit any type of genocide

Didn't the US arrest a ton of people simply for being suspected of supporting communism? There was that whole terror thing going on, kinda like a 20th century Salem witch trial. Lots of propaganda going on during that time too. |

Can't say that's a good period time, I'd say that period is in fact a bit of a stain. I'm just saying, the USSR wasn't great, even if they enjoyed a better education. I've talked with someone who lived under the USSR and they've told me that it was awful.
"20th century salem witch trial. Lots of propaganda going on during that time too."
Ah, but the US was not even conceived of, yet.

Sorry, that was meant as a sort of simile. I meant that it was like the salem witch trials in the 20th century. |
