So the CIA calls him a dictator in one memo and not in another. I suppose that proves nothing in the end. Except that the CIA clearly doesn't understand Soviet governance based on the other details in the memo that you linked.

They call Soviet leadership a party oligarchy in both cases. They do not "agree" with you in any way shape or form.

And that's different from Amerikkka how?

Pot calling the kettle black. 🤷

Wait so you do agree USSR was a party oligarchy?

Both the pot and the kettle are black cause they are covered in soot.

I do not. You say that the CIA does however, so the analogy still works.
