No one here is being propagandized. You do not get Marxist propaganda defending the USSR in the west. Almost all of us grew up with the very opposite. The majority of us have had to spend our own time reading and learning. Sorry mate, but you are the one steeped in propaganda and I'd love for you to prove otherwise

Most of us have, obviously. Please, educate me on your experience with soviet cars.

Not that I give a shit. I don't know if you've noticed but cars haven't been a very intelligent mode of transportation for modern civilization, given the fact that they're wildly inefficient and the fuel they burn is literally destroying the worlds ecosystem. Guess there's trains though, right? Can't imagine the Soviets being much good at trains though. I wonder how the Chinese are doing with trains?

“Have you ever driven something that no longer exists and costs a fortune to acquire, because consuming product = supporting ideology?”

The answer is no, I haven’t. Because communism no money unfortunately.
