    Yes. They didn’t have the money to properly fight back. Because communism sucks. With a continent span ing empire and imperial authority over the entire Warsaw Pact and Comintern, the USSR was still a decrepit, corrupt shithole of a nation propped up by the shambling corpse of Marxist-Leninist economic theory. Communism fails, and fails again, and again, and again, not because capitalists have unfairly stopped them, but because it is an economic system as badly suited to the modern world as mercantilism or feudalism.

      Took a lot of words for you to express you really don’t know what you’re talking about.

      Marxist-Leninist economic theory? Lmfao.

      I also find it hilarious you both agree the countries couldn’t fight back but also you’re saying capitalists never fought them in the first place. They did very aggressively.

      If you want to continue being ignorant about the CIA go ahead but you’re just wrong bud. Like the Red Scare was real, the Cold War happened. Kissinger was constantly looking for excuses to nuke anyone over socialism.

      You are cluelessly outside your mind

        I said the communists couldn’t prosecute the war against capitalism that they started because their economic theory is shit and doesn’t work well in the real world. Which is true.

          and I’m saying you sound so clueless treating this like some weird war between factions. It is an extremely uninformed position and view.

            It’s… historical truth, dude. The interim goal of the USSR was to overthrow capitalism in Germany, and then from there, enact world communist revolution under their aegis via COMECON
