minus-squareCowbee [he/they]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·4 hours agoNo. Bukharin was both a Mechanist and a right-opportunist that rejected collectivization, and ultimately stood against the USSR. I think it’s better for you to confront the ghost of Stalin than focus on what the USSR may have been had someone else been elected.
