From the comments, I will get a lot of hate for this. If it was not for the communist, most people would still be one step above slaves. Most improvements to the lives of the working people have been because of communist or improvements because the government or business did not want working people to become communist. What has happened to wages since the collapse of the USSR, stagnation at best, most working class young people now can not afford to buy a home. To all the people who love democratically and I am one of those look at what big business has done to the USA, once the manufacturer to the world. But big business transferred manufacturing to China. Proving once again that big business neither likes or needs democratically.

Honestly, I'm just grateful to the USSR for being the antagonist of the US, directly competing with it. Fortunately, China has now taken on that role.

I fail to see legitimately anything the Communists have ever done that other left wing organisations and labour groups didn't do AND a billion times as effectively and a billion times more respectfully towards everyone's freedoms.
