[QUOTE="the_cheat, post: 17690841"] Actually, they're lousy ways of anwering the OP; the only way of answering the OP was contained in my first post in this thread - the USSR never was communist to start with. It never achieved the necessary conditions for communism. What it was was a way of answering other posters' confusion. I'd actually say that the last vestige of Marxist idealism died out about the same time Stalin killed off the last of the original Bolsheviks. After that, ideology becomes a propaganda tool to defend state policies as opposed to the driving force behind state policies. These are some very dramatic and sweeping statements, but I think you'll find if you actually closely study modern day Russia and the Russian Republics, that the whole system hasn't crumbled, it's just put on a different outward skin. The government apparatus is basically unchanged. [/QUOTE]
