1. Yes, I've heard the concept of propaganda. The Soviet Union's propaganda was that they were actually trying to achieve communism, when they weren't. 2. They weren't communist, because they did not meet the fundamental principles needed in order to be communist. Hitler, on the other hand, was actively committing genocide and managed to kill off millions of Jews in a span of just years. The Soviet Union, in over 70 years, didn't do it. |

Makes sense.
