Okay but he didn’t say they were, the word Comrade is hundreds of years old and derived from Latin, though Marx and later the USSR and China (neither of which countries are communist) all incentivize(d) “Comrade” as it didn’t have the hierarchical connotations that Senor, Monsieur, and Mister all have being derived from titles of authority.
What was that whole collective farming thing they were trying at then? I know Stalin was just taking advantage of the whole thing, but Kruschev et al were definitely trying at socialism, albeit failing miserably.
Please keep in mind that it’s a direct response previous comment that Russia isnt communism…
You say the cope is strong with me, yet I’m just responding in kind to the person who said that.
I really don’t understand what IM supposedly coping with. This is a conversation about language and I was merely pointing out a comparison to “Russia isnt communist”
If Trump had that much power: he would have given himself 127% of the vote.
If a secret shadow organization of oligarchs had that much power; they wouldn’t be struggling so hard against a political party that taxes them and funds healthcare and saves millions of children abroad from starvation, they wouldn’t let idiots like Theil and Musk turn the entire population against the very concept of them, and they definitely wouldn’t have let anybody know about the Epstein Files.
Because Soviet communism, and most national implementations of communism around the world, are a combination of system of government and economic model
Stop pretending that Russia is communist. Russia wasn’t even communist when it was the USSR, it sure as shit ain’t communist now

Don’t think that’s what was being done here.

Okay, but then we also have to stop pretending that the USA is a democracy.
It’s just as much of a distortion of the terms
Ooooh the cope is strong with this take – do people really still believe the US is a democracy?

No, my bad, the cope was directed at the downvotes to your previous comment.
Ohhhhh thanks! I was confused lol

Yes, that is long overdue.

Everybody knows it’s a dictatorship
It sure as hell isn’t a democracy either
Why are you comparing an economic concept and a form of representation concept
Because this is a thing about voting
