they didn't say a lot of flaws though. They said genocidal police state. when they're implying they like America over the USSR when they do similar things, is a fair argument. I don't like a lot of stupid shit tankies say but that isn't it. Especially when half of Americans believe complete bullshit about what went on behind the iron curtain. Like you ask average American and they think the entire warsaw pact like in concentration camps and that people were routinely executed

my opinion, they did a lot of ok things, but their policies of preventing people from leaving the country isn't alright with me. You can adopt the good(healthcare, education, fair wages) and leave out the bad. Simple as that
