      Who told you western teenagers were too dumb to understand this fact and would fail to include the remedies to their ideology when they rile up against capitalism?

      The problem is that places like the USSR were just authoritarian using communist wordsand concepts to keep people in line. It was just state-run capitalism. Communism is fundamentally about not having a ruling class.

      Just like the “democratic” people’s republic of Korea isn’t a democracy, the USSR wasn’t socialist.
