On the surface it is true, but in reality all of those things came at the expense of people’s liberty and the people themselves - they jailed or killed anyone that didn’t agree with or was seen as an enemy of the state, resources were actually incredibly scarce and there was a lot of famine (just in the less important parts of the empire), nobody trusted anyone and people kept stealing things for themselves anyway. Oh also child labor and many many more things like that.
Like I understand the good part of communism, but oh God is the USSR the worst possible example of that, they didn’t even have real communism anyway.
Agreed on all bits except the liberty. USSR really wasn’t throwing people in prison for being disagreeable, undesirables and those branded enemies of the state more than the US.
