No, no. Stop evading. What agenda is an historian is trying to push by correctly stating that the Soviet Union was Communist?

It's only simple for you because you're a Utopian. I have no idea what you actual knowledge base is or what you've read, or what you actually have researched.  And you expect me to just take your word for it that directly contradicts a vast pool or well respected Historians whose experience and bodies of work are available for all to see, just because you say so?

Hard pass.

The only way that the Soviet Union can be considered communist is by changing the meaning of communism. He did just that, transforming its meaning from a classless, stateless system into a totalitarian state-controlled economic system.

 

how is a classless society possible without implementing some kind of system to keep everyone on the same level?

 

if you are able to realise that a system would be needed to ensure that everyone is kept at the same level... who puts that system in plce and maintains it? would that person or persons not have to be above everyone else?
