    But the USSR is fascist, by definition

    Read a book. The USSR had universal healthcare, free education to the highest level, abolished unemployment, guaranteed housing to every person in the country (rent being 3% of the average monthly income), guaranteed the diversity of languages and cultures (look at Occitan language over the 20th century in contrast), had more female STEM graduates than anywhere else on Earth, and supported politically, economically and even materially the liberation and decolonization of Latin America, Africa and most of Asia.

    I’m a Spaniard, we had actual fascism in my country for 40 years. There is not one day I don’t wish the USSR had been geographically closer and had helped us win the antifascist civil war.
