The USSR did do a revolution. And the end result of it was a fascist state-capitalist hellscape under Stalin, and authoritarian state-capitalist shithole after
Because of said fascist state-capitalist hellscape, generals had to get on their hands and knees and beg Stalin to let them lead the defense of the USSR as the Nazis blew their way through USSR territory. Thus causing the single greatest death toll of any single nation in the war
Oh yeah, and the proletariat never came even close to owning the means of production, eliminating the system of capital, or eliminating the state, or really anything Marx preached.
The hellscape of the USSR with its abolition of unemployment through guaranteed jobs, abolition of homelessness through guaranteed housing, free education to the highest level, universal healthcare, retirement pensions at 60 years of age (55 for women), highest level of unionization in the world at the time, lowest inequality rates, complete alphabetization and the more than doubling of life expectancy. So horrifying.
The Bolsheviks correctly predicted an attack by capitalist nations and started the fastest industrialization in history up to that point in 1929, growing the Soviet industrial output by 15% yearly up to 1941. Without this, there is simply no possibility that the Soviets would have defeated Nazism, and every nation between Germany and the Urals would have suffered the same degree of extermination that the Poles did. There is no way around it: through the undeniable defeat of Nazism thanks to planned successful rapid industrialization, the Soviets saved tens of millions of lives.
The USSR is the only country that meaningfully helped fight fascism in my homeland of Spain. Well, at least I should be glad you’re not calling me a Putin bot, that’s already better than 90% of .world

The Soviet Union totally not trying to restore imperial Russian borders:
(Edit: better alt text, maybe?)
Yeah, the USSR famously annexed itself Poland… wait, it didn’t, Poland remained its own country after the war
Don’t pull a muscle with those mental gymnastics, troll.
I thought you tagged me to avoid engaging me? You’re like 50 years old anyway
Nothing like a Spanish person who wasn’t even alive during or anywhere near USSR spreading pre-prepared propaganda copy-pastas about it.

You’re literally a putin bot.
Whether paid, or unpaid (just dumb, I guess?), I’m not sure.
