Or you know, the workers work for themselves instead of the billionaire class. Too much nuance though right?

That’s socialism, communism is a stateless classless society.

So in some ways, people are right when they say the USSR isn’t communist: Because it’s literally impossible to implement it.

Who told you western teenagers were too dumb to understand this fact and would fail to include the remedies to their ideology when they rile up against capitalism?

The problem is that places like the USSR were just authoritarian using communist wordsand concepts to keep people in line. It was just state-run capitalism. Communism is fundamentally about not having a ruling class.

Just like the “democratic” people’s republic of Korea isn’t a democracy, the USSR wasn’t socialist.
