    1. Not really, even america maintains its military bases worldwide to contain capitalism, its just ideological battle. Secondly what people did after collapse of soviet union has nothing to do with what were their opinion on socialism during its existence. CIA and NATO carried out operation gladio to systematically sabotage communist parties in west, that included funding far right terror groups and assassinating communist leaders. So much for free liberal democracy huh.

    2. Communism should ideally be the only option.

    3. Those communist government had support of their people, its pretty evident if you know how those states functioned. Whole western hemisphere was/is vassal state of America, you should worry about that. Imagine being an anti communist and thinking youre not propagandized lmao, your entire worldview is shaped by american media propaganda. USSR was domninated by ukrainians if you check the leadership roles. It wasnt an empire (and even if it was one, it was good).
