Khrushchev and the right -wing of the party pushed plenty of pro-market and decentralizing policies under his "De-Stalinization" nonsense.
>It was constantly being forced to abandon communism principles.
Communism can only be achieved when capitalist countries have been defeated. The problem was the USSR made tons of mistakes that built up over time Starting with Khrushchev's economic/political reforms of the 1950/60's that increased corruption and stagnated the economy.
>it was only a matter of time before it collapsed into what it is today.
The USSR had plenty of times where is could have turned it's situation around (such as investing in computers and cutting back on luxury consumer goods), but unfortunately it was not to be.

Marxism is a science and Marx was wrong about a lot of shit. If Marxism was correct every country would be at about the same level of economic development by now, among other wrong predictions, including that the proletariat of an industrliazed state will rise up in revolution (when all examples of revolutions happened in third world countries). Marxism doesn’t stop with Marx. Bakunin was a pol tier retard who wanted to skip to anarchism and blamed the jews for everyone’s problems without first undergoing the developmental process that Lenin came up with and Mao critiqued and edited. The USSR and China brought serfs and peasants into word superpower status. Anarkiddies cant even last five minutes before they get btfod by a developed superpower

"Twice two makes five"

Why do Russian authors keep saying this?

They miss the sense of community and pride they used to have. Now there is no sense of community and no pride in their country. Girls are going around acting like whores and people killing eachother left and right. Back in the soviet union there was no such thing as road rage because they knew that if anyone fought in public with each other the police would punish them harshly. So it just felt safer and comfy . Even at school they would push the idea of comeradery , what do they push in the west? Gayness, cuckoldry , degeneracy, anti family and selfishness
