RE: Not sure why titles are mandatory tbh
so called socialism in ussr was in fact nothing else than ... state-ran capitalism :)
pretty much as what china is basically does already quite for while.
(planned economy and such; btw Obama was criticized for the same and perhaps Trump now too)
while communism has never been achieved anywhere in the world.
and yes, de facto there are social welfare states which are basically much more socialist than ussr been (like sweden socialism model was called so even during ussr times)
anyway, words are being twisted all the times... same as so called "democracy" and all that shit.
btw so called capitalism too. for example Max Keiser has been exposing all such BS for over a decade, that it is mostly kleptocracy, oligarchy, corporatocracy, etc. (or a Plutocracy in this recent article they were discussing in this video)
but yeah, they keep feeding the BS to masses, making them believe in this or that "-ism" LOL
well, it's good for business, hey! :D
to create some confrontations, tensions (wars are the best too), or at least some sanctions, trade wars. cut supply / demand somewhere while at the same time leave some loopholes for few their own friends...
