Is this the Stalinist USSR that you think was socialist and would be much brighter?
The fact is that Russia would invade any country and kill any people that tried to separate from them. Ukraine, Hungary, anyone.
You're high on nearly century old propaganda.
You’re high on over a century of anti-communist propaganda from the imperial core, the Five Eyes states in particular for the Anglosphere. Billions have been spent to have you see communism & communists as cartoon villains.
The USSR was socialist, and if it continued to exist the world would indeed be much brighter. You are making a racist argument that sees Russians as genetically evil, rather than making a materialist argument based on the mode of production and distribution.
