    No, the soviet union was democtatic. It was even dissolved through a vote. The soviet union had a more comprehensive and complex system of democracy than liberal democracy.

        Yep, that’s also true. My point was more along the lines of Michael Parenti’s, where the so-called totalitarian USSR never seemed to need blood to overturn it. Can definitely see how it would be counter-productive to use it as a point, though.
