    And you’re refusing to accept that political and cultural divisions are a natural part of any state’s existence; it has little to do with it being capitalist nor communist and those divisions will be based on the country’s disposition. Ie workers rights for a worker’s country like the USSR and oligarchical primacy for a country controlled by wealth like the US.

    I bring up American successionist movements because they’ve been a thing for the United States just as much as the they were for the Soviet Union; my point could have probably been better made by the American civil war.

      Secessionist sentiments in the united states were not nearly as big a thing as they were for soviet republics who faced economic and civic turmoil for decades.

      A better comparison would be if after the US civil war, America fell apart entirely. That’s the only reasonable comparison i can accept.
