    Plenty of democratic mechanisms in the USSR, at any rate much better than anything else we’ve had so far.

    Fucking lmao

    For a dictatorship, it dissolved itself quite peacefully didn’t it?

    I’m sure you’d say the same about Pinochet, wouldn’t you? :)

    Sadly, attempts at socialism in which workers didn’t take the power of the state, ended up like Salvador Allende in Chile,

    Yes, if only Allende was a dictator, THEN he wouldn’t have trusted Pinochet. That was what planted that seed of trust in Allende’s heart - not being a dictator.

    like Mosaddegh in Iran,

    Ah, yes, when Social Democrats are overthrown by Western powers, they’re good comrades; any other time, they’re social fascists.

    like the Spanish Second Republic

    The same Spanish Second Republic which was backstabbed and destroyed by Soviet-bootlicking MLs?
