That’s not exactly what the host was saying. What he was trying to say was that the USSR promised all of these things and never delivered them, becoming instead an authoritarian dictatorship. Of course, we know that the USSR did achieve much of what was in that document. He then points to the U.S. constitution as something that “protects” America from communism. The U.S. constitution is of course a highly aspirational document that fails U.S. citizens on a daily basis.
