Friendly reminder that the USSR was invaded by no fewer than 14 Capitalist countries right after the October Revolution, the CIA admitted to trying and failing 634 times to assassinate Fidel Castro, and a total of 635,000 tons of bombs, including 32,557 tons of napalm, were dropped on the DPRK, destroying 85% of all North Korean buildings. By comparison, the U.S. dropped 500,000 tons in the Pacific theater during all of World War II (including 160,000 on Japan).
Bad history. The Red Army invaded a dozen of its neighboring white and anarchist neighbors during the interwar period, and ran a campaign of imperialism during World War 2 in the baltics, carpathians, and central Europe.
The ensuing cold war saw atrocities and imperialism from both sides, it’s hardly fair to judge one side for their aggression to grow their sphere of influence.
The cold war is over now, and Western countries do not invade socialist countries or support dictators anymore.
Because the cold war saw campaigns of imperialism and games of influence spheres from both sides. North Korea invaded South Korea with support from the USSR.
Yeah like, if communism is so shit why didn’t the big capitalist countries leave them alone and just let them be friends?

Why has socialism never worked? Sorry, I meant to ask, Why has it never been allowed to continue working?

Flimsy what-about
