    You don’t want me to start comparing the US ruling order with USSR, trust me, you don’t wanna go down that path.

    Everyone’s got skeletons in their closet. The point is you’re comparing the ruling of Stalin to earwax. I could say the same about the US in general. Maybe ruling with an iron fist is better in some scenarios, have you thought about that? I could give you some that were actually pretty successful as societies, until the rulers died or were overthown by the US (which had no business meddling and trying to impose their social/economical order on others, but hey, surprise surprise, they did… because, of course, they’re stringer and always right about everything 😒).

    My point is, there are negative sides, sure, no doubt about that, but if you take the positive sides of any type of social order (hell, even nacizm), you can learn a lot, not to mention make current societies even better. Not everything in any social order is good and not everything is bad, but take the ideas that lie behind socialism and you’ll see that, in general, the ideas are pretty good - give power back to the working class… basically, the people that make the world go roun. Just because a leader chose to rule with an iron fist, doesn’t mean the society is bad or that everything he did was bad. Trust me when I say, this, I’ve lived long enough to experience socialism and democracy/capitalism first hand. There are lessons that can be taken from democracy, no doubt there, but there were valid reasons why ruling with an iron fist was a better solution. I could go on explaining why, but that’s beside the scope of this post. If you’re interested, I could get into more detail.
