Definitely no. Modern communists should recognize that the USSR was doomed from the beginning. As Cockshott argues, their political structure was shit. It was bound to descend into oligarchy.
The technology wasn't there yet to have a highly efficient planned economy. We do have it today. Let's learn from the ways in which the USSR failed and stipulate a new program.
What does Zig Forums, think of Lavrentiy Beria...
Is there actual proof of the serial rapist thing? The only people who accused him of it were his political enemies as far as I know.
They found the bones of the women he raped in his Dacha, and the list of women which he raped was kept as per his request.
These.
Beria himself is one of the most shameful things to happen to the USSR. I'm far from a Trot and not necessarily even anti-Stalinist, but holy shit Stalin putting up with Beria's comically evil behavior is itself evidence supporting that a lot of the internal criticism of Stalin wasn't just western infiltration or "revisionism" but just reasonable fucking people objecting to obvious excesses and oversights.
There is record of Stalin requesting his daughter be kept far away from Beria.
Links?
Here's comic villainy is what fascinates me so much, the thought of one of the most evil people in history, stopping the madness of the Stalinist regime and ending the Cold War and saving millions of lives is so beautifully ironic and I hate Khrushchev so much for ruining that and almost starting World War III.
How the fuck would Beria have done that lol. He probably wouldve instituted mandatory pedophile rings or something.
He would've nationalized children.
Beria stopped the Great purge, he was a good guy.
