Okay mister Bolshevik. What you write is contrary to everything that I’ve read about soviet governance, but I guess I’ll just have to take your word for it.
The collective west is currently taking part in an active genocide, out in the open for all to see. But gommunism bad holodomor vuvuzela no iPhone. We can’t upset the genocidal ruling class now, can we?
It is entirely possible that the Soviet leaders are about to develop a new form of “dictatorship by committee”, giving them the advantage of appearing to be quasi-democratic.
When we speak of collective leadership, we mean a committee of a very few men, probably not more than five or six. The larger the membership, the greater the likelihood that fractionalization may occur, dividing the committee into antagonistic groups.
So the CIA calls him a dictator in one memo and not in another. I suppose that proves nothing in the end. Except that the CIA clearly doesn’t understand Soviet governance based on the other details in the memo that you linked.

I am neither a mister nor a Bolshevik. If you don’t know the meaning of “collective leadership”, then it’s on you.

They call Soviet leadership a party oligarchy in both cases. They do not “agree” with you in any way shape or form.
And that’s different from Amerikkka how?
Pot calling the kettle black. 🤷
Wait so you do agree USSR was a party oligarchy?
Both the pot and the kettle are black cause they are covered in soot.
I do not. You say that the CIA does however, so the analogy still works.

Are you having a stroke?
I’ll take the L on this one. I shouldn’t have assumed your gender. I’m sorry.
The Bolshevik thing was sarcasm.
