    Actually you would be wrong about their ethical achievements. Women’s rights flourished in the USSR. The first woman in space was a Soviet communist. Their art depicted Africans as noble and strong people while Americans and Europeans had their own perspective…

    I would also consider their free healthcare and affordable housing to be ethical successes as well. Saving the world from Nazis is a big one too…

      isn’t that just a “noble savage” type of thing?

      You also seem to not mention, for example, the treatment of lgbtq+ people, or the various minority ethnicities living within the soviet union

        No, you just heard the word “noble” and made a connection in your head. Can’t do much about that for ya.

        The topic was about the USSRs “nonexistent” ethical achievements and that’s what I provided. You now want me to also list the bad things as well? I’m not sure what that accomplishes unless you think my point is the USSR was amazing and super moral… Yes they did bad things lol.
