The working man had the Soviets, and the loss of those nations has resulted in a massive global loss of worker rights and power. The labor movement has never been stronger than when the USSR was at its zenith, and it has never been weaker than after its destruction.
These ultras can yap all the twisted and contorted “theory” they like, but if at the end of the day their conclusion of the Cold War was “both sides are the same, neither should be supported” then they are just in flat denial of reality and their ideas are laughably naive. The USSR was better. Even if it doesn’t fit their ideal definition of socialism exactly it was better than the imperialist west, and their failure to agree to that makes them extremely suspect
The working man has no country is from the communist manifesto. It is from a fairly basic section about how the communists/workers owes no allegiance to any particular country or nationality, but only to each other across the entire world.
It is from this principle that Lenin derived his thoughts about ww1.
During the time if the manifesto, there were no successful examples of socialism. After the establishment of the ussr, this changes. The strongest force of revolution becomes the Republic of the Soviets.
I have some news for you about the Soviet Union. Even if this had been a relevant commentary, there is no soviet union, no country of the working man
?
Which was written before the revolution… in which the working man gained a country
I have some bad news about the Soviet Union
