Good luck. The USSR collapsed 30+ years ago and was in decline since 50+ years ago. The odds of that person having actually lived through anything other than shock therapy or revisionism are small.
Oh please, you had to shit left and right about Stalin or Lenin or communism in general, for months at a time, to be even sent to prison, let alone the Gulag. Gulag was for political prisoners, not some shmuk with a bottle of vodka shouting that Stalin is a pussy.
On the other hand, if you so much as whispered that you’re a US communist during the cold war, you’re on the CIA watch list, that’s for sure.
Of course, there was no other party, it was a single party system, why would you even have other parties.
That is not true and you know it, I’ve never heard of anyone just shouting that Stalin is this or that and being arrested for it. As I said, you had to shit on the system for months at a time to be even arrested. I don’t know in which USSR you lived, that’s not the one I know of.
I like Communism, but stalinist communism isn’t a utopia just because it’s communism
I do wish people would respect the ideals of communism more however, it’s ridiculous to think that letting the people with all the money, land, and resources (i.e capital) should also have all the power
I lived in USSR. No you do not.
I was being sarcastic. I don’t want to live in ANY dystopian system.
Could you please elaborate what was so bad back then?

Gulag
The US have Guantanamo, you don’t see them shitting on ther country for it.
How many US citizens who simply orally disagreed with US policy are jailed in Guantanamo?

You could be a communist in US (and in many other parties). You could not be in any party other than communist in USSR and be free.
And under Stalin, if you shout that Stalin is a pussy, yes you were going to be arrested.

It’s ok. You didn’t. You lived in red fascism.
That would be the “dystopia” part.
Wow that must have been so cool, everyone working together for the common good, no more greed or selfishness.

If only there exist a country that could balance the incentives of capitalism and the socialist good of communism hmm.
