And after looking into it, we find that the Soviets never really achieved communism in anything but name. Once again, like the feudal state they rebelled against before, it was rule by dictatorship, and rations for the people. They just couldn't give up the idea of a strongman. The people by no means ever owned the means of production in the USSR. Of course, we can never confirm that communism is inherently untenable from their example. The capitalist nations were no help at all, and forced the Soviets to waste resources on a strong military. But even despite their failings, communism was still the best thing to ever happen to Russia. Unfortunately, Russia was also the worst thing that ever happened to communism.

And it doesn't make communism sound scary at all, but rather mysterious, alluring, and worth checking out.

Because the students are already at school. Their financial aid is locked in. It ain't so easy switching colleges.

How about if you don't care about justice, you go comment elsewhere?

Oh I'm pretty confident of what the answer is. I just want you to look for yourself.

Ok, show me all the Green party candidates running for local and state elected positions.

Third parties are not bothering to earn your votes either. They put in zero work except for presidential elections.

Well, it's none of his business what you think.

Then it's weird that you're defending him.
