Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Some incredible fucking insight, especially as it goes against probably all historical literature we have on the subject.

Please be so kind as to produce some of this historical literature

In the summary of the article. 5 seconds this time. Still as waste of time if you can believe it.
Can you read?
Clearly not, I'll repeat the excerpt from your source
Wikipedia called the USSR a "flagship communist state", Wikipedia also explicitly said that even though some in the west use the term "communist state", that those states are not in fact communist. So obviously you cannot hold two related facts in your head simultaneously.
