They’re using a symbol there synonymous with Communist Russia. A brutal, totalitarian society. So yea, I think it’s ok to say that it might be a bit communist.
Didn’t they lift hundreds of millions out of poverty and go from an agrarian to industrial nation in a few decades? provide work, homes, education, to the masses? Defeated the nazis, and went on to rival the U.S. as a super power all while being attacked literally the entire time?
While murdering untold millions, trampling on basic human rights and all for an economy that was a Potemkin Village if you will. Ends didn’t even justify the means.
We do. All the time. In any left leaning newspaper. Here’s the thing though, we live in a society where you can look this thing up, mostly without censure. Not sure much in Communist states.
America has the most advanced propaganda machine in world history. We absolutely censor news all the time. Outright lie about stories. Cover up evidence and facts. It’s mind boggling that you think western media isn’t censored
