It gave more political participation to the working class, as well as a better quality of life, than any Western country to this day ever has. It was not perfect, but it was a step in the right direction: away from the elitist and aristocratic ideals of the Enlightenment that strengthened the burghers and merchants and weakened the peasants and proletariat.
Mikhail Gorbachev alone did not bring about the end of that great vision, but he was the final nail in the coffin. His efforts to turn the USSR to embrace reaction in contrast to it's stated purpose ultimately killed the Union and the world is forever worse for it.
God, I'm sorry, but would you fuck off? The Bolshevik government humiliated my culture, my nation, organized genocide. I know very well, like my entire nation, what communism really is. Repression, executions, exile. I hate this country. Like all communists. Including you. Half of Ukrainians have grandmothers, grandfathers, great-grandmothers, great-grandfathers who were repressed by the Soviet authorities.
You have no right to say such things until you understand for yourself what a communist really is.

No.
How?
The Holodomor was anything but organized, and Ukraine wasn't the only one being affected by it.
Half your country misses the USSR according to opinion polls.
Things that apparently don't happen in free market capitalist liberal democracies.
Oh, wait...
Pity, because it was better for Ukraine than your modern oligarch-controlled government.
I'm a Socialist, not a Communist.
And many of those people deserved repression. Kulaks, nobles, business magnates, landlords, etc. People who leech off the labor of others and reap the benefits of society while contributing fuck all like the parasites they are.
I know exactly what Communism is, and I know exactly what Communists have done in the past. I don't need a lecture on history.
Fuck off. I hate talking to you.
I can answer each of these questions, but you have no right to say so. My great-great-grandfather fought for the Ukrainian People's Republic. I am continuing his case today.
You are trash to me.

Not at all! Very disturbing to hear you think so!
You know what? Come here, to Ukraine. And say in public all that you told me. Very soon you will rethink everything, caring citizens will help you with this.
