Funny you focus on whatever this is and conveniently ignore the millions murdered by the state.

I'm here because my family escaped that shit.

Is it a bad thing to highlight that wealth disparity dramatically shrank in the USSR and dramatically increased in the Russian Federation?

and conveniently ignore the millions murdered by the state.

Are you referring to Nazi sympathizers, the Tsarist White Army, or Capitalist insurgents?

Wealth disparity is a hilarious metric to use when everyone was poor.

Incorrect. On top of having free healthcare, education, and lower retirement ages than the US, GDP rose rapidly.

GDP has something to do with personal wealth?!... hmmm

GDP Per Capita.

Wealth disparity lowered, GDP Per Capita raised. Where do you think this went?

Mine too, it's hard to call the dissolution of USSR illegal when it was initiated by people escaping Soviet bloc countries in droves.
