    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.

      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.
