Debate & Discussion Thoughts on the USSR?

Context: I’ve seen Kyle mention the USSR a few times. I don’t remember exactly when, but I know once he did regarding the USSR nationalizing the automobile industry. Considering his progressive views, I want to know your thoughts on the USSR.

Very negative. The left needs a way forward that isn't that.

Well said.

The USSR was tyranny. Stalin committed a genocide against Ukrainian people in the Holodomor.

The Holodmor is not classified as a Genocide, but there are claims of Genocide during the mass population transfers.
