Yeah, lets just forget the 60 million people butchered by Stalin or the horrific atrocities committed by other Soviet leaders. They didn't give a crap about racial equality. They just wanted more workers.

Yeah, the USSR was surprisingly tolerant...as long as you weren't jewish or gay. If you were non-white and didn't actually stay in their country for long periods of time in large numbers it was ok.

The Soviet Union created art aimed at inspiring Leninist revolutions in other countries? I'm astounded.

I find that poster of an African man strangling a brit quite offensive and stereotypical. the UK wasn't the only European country to have colonies in Africa.

They wanted to sell their idea, ofcourse they'd do it like this by appealing to the lowliest of the low in the world to make them fight.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was some sort of middle ground? Not so capitalist as "money wins" but not so communist as "you can't have a scrap more, no matter how much harder you are trying?"
Hopefully the Greek situation might just be the start of finding a balance. Originally Posted by Boubouille

On paper soviet wasn't that bad. The problem was with the execution (literally).

It was a mistake to not invade and destroy the Soviet Union right after WW2. Instead, we just let the bastards get away with it.

With the most powerful military in existence and our atomic bombs. The Soviets wouldn't have stood a chance. Especially with the rest of western Europe backing us. Even Churchill wanted to invade the Soviet Union. Originally Posted by Wells

"under capitalism, under communism"
Why are there no black people in the "under communism" picture?

Most powerful military in existence? We were still at war with Japan and Russia had a massive army with a significant geographical advantage. Our most powerful ally was a burnt out and exhausted Britain, and Churchill was a drunk war hawk who was removed from office by his own people as soon as the war was over.

Given that they did 75% of the work I think that would have been considered rude. Originally Posted by Omgodzilla

They do look great though.....

Black kids from Africa were doing so well in Soviet Universities that common soviet people even gone "dem tuk r jobs" on them during Khruschev times.
There were really no serious racism issues in USSR. Not to mention Women had equal rights long before the word "feminism" was invented.All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
