    Lol no. USSR by definition was not communist, only by it’s name. Look up what communism actually is. It has no central government for starters. This is why it’s hard for me to even refer to USSR as communists, they were a socialist state.

    The S in USSR is “Socialist”. You could say that Communism is the end goal (stateless, classless), and socialism is the transitional stage, but USSR never reached communism, they only had a party that called themselves communist party of socialist state
