I am a much better critic of the USSR than you, because I don’t slavishly adhere to the narrative of the US. You’re dealing entirely in ideology and I’m actually engaging with the premises of the historical narrative, something you’re unable to do. You are listing off random USSR Bad factoids instead of acknowledging there are criticisms of them. You simply decided not to look at them because it’s too hard for you. It’s just your aim to control the conversation and downplay or ignore the information you’re presented with.
