Also apparently Noam Chomsky, the dude who praised the collapse of the USSR, is “an appeaser of the soviets”. Straight up mccarthyism. Azov Something is 100% a reaganite. I have 0 doubts, when the revolution triumphs Adam Something gets the wall immediately.

Didn’t Chomsky say the fall of the USSR was one of the happiest days of his life?
Even worse. He said:
“My response to the end of Soviet tyranny was similar to my reaction to the defeat of Hitler and Mussolini. In all cases, it is a victory for the human spirit. It should have been particularly welcome to socialists, since a great enemy of socialism had at last collapsed. Like you, I was intrigued to see how people—including people who had considered themselves anti-Stalinist and anti-Leninist—were demoralized by the collapse of the tyranny. What it reveals is that they were more deeply committed to Leninism than they believed.”
Among other things. He routinely called USSR “empire”, “state capitalism”, believed the Black Book, most of the stupid propaganda on how USSR was “not socialism” either originated or was peddled with him.
wow what a fucking tool

ehhh, idk, the USSR was kinda fucked anyway by that point
I personally think that if the August 1991 Coup had succeeded, socialism would have been saved. That coup was led by firm conservative antiGorbachev people like Boris Pugo and Viktor Alksnis. I believe that if the military had been with them, they would have had no problem stamping out separatism and liberalism, arresting Gorbachev and returning to a planned economy. Unfortunately it didnt succed ;(
I am afraid that by the time the August coup took place, it was already too late to stop the process of destruction of the USSR.
The seeds of nationalism have already sprung up, since the republics were already beginning to rebel, the Baltic States are an example of this. And the proto-capitalists have already flooded power, both in the republics and in the RSFSR, so even if a miracle happened and the GKCHP could had managed to retain power, the government elites simply would not let them hold out until the GKCHP took measures to, say, purge the party of pests and traitors.
Most likely, all that the putschists could achieve was a postponement of the fall of the USSR.
I dont think so. If the GKCHP had taken power and had the military on their side, they would have definetely been able to stamp out all the traitors. Sure maybe a short civil war would have happened, but with the powerful soviet military on their side they would have won no doubt. The problem was that liberal infiltration of the state caused the coup to not be successful.
