it's a fact. communists are consistently popular in spite of capitalists throwing mud on lenin, stalin etc.   it eliminated class, however it's true bourgeois nationalism persisted.    > merely eliminating everybody who isn't brainwashed in your own flavor in turn there's no brainwashing, simply workers acting in their own interests. socialism in one country was a resounding success and made the ussr a superpower, defying those sneering capitalists who thought the ussr would crumble at the first hurdle and who also thought the ussr would never recover from ww2. > and how do you explain the communist concept of the new (soviet) man? it's about creating a new set of values which are appropriate for communism free of the morality of capitalists and priests. the moral code of the builders of communism are the values we believe in.
