I'm not part of the conversation, but I wanted to let you know that I appreciated your response. I believe that the USSR was very fucked too, hence the coup, but I appreciate your candid and honest reply.

Right, I mean, the whole idea of someone who just blindly agrees with anything that has ever done by anyone waving a red flag is kind of silly. If the USSR didn't have flaws, then it wouldn't have collapsed. People would rather just pretend communists are all like that because they don't want to engage with what we actually believe, which is generally more nuanced.

There are certainly those types of people on Lemmy, but you have shown that you're not one of them.
