[QUOTE="SolomonVII, post: 17689915, member: 12407"] People that were agreeing with you were stating that it was capitalist. Since you were responding to me, I was interested to see how you would respond to them too. Nevertheless, the makings of the Soviet state were inspired by Marxist ideology. Lenin was well within the Marxist idological political camp. As far as I know, Marxisxm was studied in their schools there, it was advocated as the offiicial position, it was the language of the [i]comrades[/i]; the capitalism of the west was railed against, opposition and resulting persecution of religion as the opiate of the asses was believed in, churches filled with grain tp make them useful, the elites disposed of at the hands of the proletariat, etc., etc, etc,... No, in a very real sense the Soviet Union was Marxist. To say otherwise, without qualification anyway, smacks of historical revisionism. But really, I would be more interested in you responding to those that are saying that the Soviet Union was capitalist.:) [/QUOTE]
