And a relevant passage from This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong
Well, USSR wasn’t really dictatorship of proletariat, but rather dictatorship of party leader(s) and the KGB
The government in USSR very much represented the working class. Maybe actually spend a bit of time learning about USSR instead of regurgitating propaganda points you’ve memorized?
edit: I love how mad libs of lemmy get when faced with basic historical facts
The government in USSR very much represented the working class
so… ruling working class => bad living conditions and massive genocide / famines, while ruling bourgeoise => only bad living conditions? got it
literally the reverse is true, but do go on there
so there were no famines/genocides in the USSR?

How frustrating. I can’t seem to find a paper copy of this book for sale anywhere. There’s an archived copy online which seems really interesting: https://archive.org/details/this-soviet-world/page/173/mode/2up

Thank you for transcribing a better version. Reading over the agriculture section it seems fascinating.
