    Work camps

    You mean prison. Work camp is nonsense used to demonise non western countries as barbaric (and often used in an attempt to evoke images of the nazi extermination machine even when they are not at all the same). Also what was progressive in the 40s 50s and 60s would be regressive by today’s standard yet that doesn’t mean it wasn’t progressive for the time.

          And progressive for it’s time doesn’t mean the only progressive or the only one doing any progress. Please adjust the lens to the center for more accurate viewing.

              The entire thread arguing that the USSR was progressive and the west was not? Sorry can you read?

                The USSR was more progressive than the west at the time, that doesn’t mean the west wasn’t progressive at all or the the USSR was the only one? Are you sure you can read?

                  That is literally what is being argued. A constant push to express one is more progressive and the other isn’t. If you read my initial comment I make it very clear a lot of it is a global shift and some of that shift did not stick in certain places because of certain actions the government engaged in, suppressing progressive movements being a major one.

                  Can you read?

                    Your initial comment was stupid.

                    “The USSR was way more progressive on racial equality, women’s rights, workplace rights, anticolonialism etc but also they weren’t perfect and thus can be equated with the west who were still actively engaging in colonialism, genocide, slavery, segregation etc” it’s ridiculous. The USSR was one of the most progressive forces of the time the fact the west had minimal progression at the same time does not make them comparable.
