    I only brought up the USSR because you claimed that Russia was exporting far right ideology before the fall of the USSR.

    Except they did collapse in 1989, remember?

    Again, you were claiming MODERN Russia would collapse soon, I was pushing back against that because they have been saying that forever in media and so far it doesn’t seem to be happening.

    Last thing, please don’t be so rude, I was trying not to insult or offend you.

      You don’t think the Soviet Union was exporting Far-Right ideology? I mean, I know they were supposed to be Leftists and all that, but like most governmental systems, they were much different from their promise. The late Soviet Union was more about far-right fascist ideology than anything else. They certainly weren’t anything that Marx or Lenin would have recognized.

      And YOU claimed that people had been predicting Russia’s fall FOREVER , and I pointed out that the prediction did come true in 1989, and then you moved the goal posts to MODERN Russia, which wasnt the original premise.

      So, to summarize, the Soviets were exporting right-wing fascism to the world, and still are, AND the prediction of the fall of the USSR came true.

          No, I’m right, and sticking by it. But you keep going on with your fantasy about the Soviet Union never falling, despite predictions that they would fall. Let’s just pretend they didn’t.
