tanks on USSR
it's weird how tankies will justify certain things but not others, like dekulakization or non-aggression pact with Hitler were necessitated by historical conditions, but then Khrushchev denouncing Stalin or adopting the 'peaceful coexistence' line ( which was obviously never sincere, the USSR continued to arm revolutionary movements abroad like in Vietnam ) this is to them was not something necessitated by historical conditions in order to preserve socialism against widespread popular resentment against stalinist policies and the threat of nuclear war, but an act of revisionism, a betrayal of socialism etc.
