> While xUSSR was mostly about redistribution of the goods

Yeah, ask my grand grand father how great that worked. Oh sorry, you can’t, he was shot in the gulag in 1937 for anti revolution activities (and rehabilitated in 60s, saying it was a terrible mistake, that’s a relief, right?).

The irony of using someone who can't speak for themselves to make a whataboutism argument against the USSR would be quite a lot if it wasn't so obviously in bad faith.

The failures of the USSR does not mean the US is succeeding. It is possible for more than one thing to be bad. Power/wealth imbalances are bad wherever they appear. The USSR no longer exists, but the US does, and its imbalance is growing worse rapidly.

I haven’t said US is succeeding. In fact I don’t like US either.
