i'm not reading to become a marxist or a communist. i'm curious and interested in learning the history, the conflicts and the systems attempted. it would help me understand things for myself. when i was reading about lenin, trotsky and stalin before making this it showed to me that one thing i never hear from marxists nor communists is the different personalities interacting with each other in these systems if true communism even is achieved how long does it last before there is conflict? i believe nuance is truly missing from these conversations like look at this thread. "you don't understand communism" well, let me say this then? how do they expect to get others on board if this philosophy you want to convince them to live under is complicated to get a clear definition of especially when i'm reading from marxists sources and i'm still "you don't know what you're talking about" then what am i talking about then?  i watched a video of a guy who lived in cuba saying he didn't like communism am i not supposed to listen to people who lived under it? that's why i ask about the ussr i just want something that objectively talks about that so i have a comprehensive understanding of how the ussr was  instead i can't even get a clear answer and i'm not even arguing i'm asking and showing curiosity but it's like i'm punished for that it's so weird to me
