ChrisD: Well, exaggeration certainly. Live in the USSR during the Brezhnev era was pretty damn good. People looked at defectors with pity. --- ^^^^ CB: Living standards, yes. But moreover, anti-Sovietism was multi-mulitpurposed and multi-dimensional, the major and center piece of bourgeois anti-communist propaganda from 1917 until the end of the SU. Not only was the SU a "failure" , but a "threat". The "Russians are coming ! Build nuclear bombs", "The CPUSA is an agent of a foreign power. To Jail !", Communism won't work here . Marx's ideas are unrealistic. They contradict human nature. Proof: Look at the SU. It leads to poverty and dictatorship. Equality is incompatible with democracy (?) and prosperity.
