    Being an anti-communist must be awesome. You can just make shit up and then, when you get pushed, quote some thinktank named something like “BillionaireFreedomFund” funded by George McBloodghoul.

        The Soviet Union was a socialist state. The workers ran and controlled the state and the economy to serve the needs of the people. Communism is beyond socialism, and the USSR never developed into that.

        Technically correct. There has never been a communist state because communism is a socio economic system that by definition is stateless. The USSR most definitely was socialist though, and implementing communism definitely was their goal.
