Despite what most idiotic 12 year old americans think(eg truth and justice)the soviet union was not an evil empire.Formed in 1922 by Vladmir Lenin after the russian revoloution in 1917 and civil war the Communistsoviet union or USSR(CCCP in russian) would have been a great place but lenin died early and was replaced by Joseph Stalin who was a communist version of George Bushor Adolf Hitler.Stalin and hitler formed a secret alliance but in 1941 Nazi Germany foolishly invaded the soviet union.The Soviet Red Army was nearly destroyed under the relentless nazi advance.But when the nazis reached Moscow in the winter of 1941 the soviets managed to regroup and counterattack and drive the nazis back.The nazis then focused on the oil fields in southern russia but lost an entire army group(nearly 2 million men)in the factory city of stalingrad in the winter of 1942.The nazis final offensive at kursk in 1943 was stopped at a heavy cost for the soviets they had the nazis on the run and by 1945 they reached the nazi capital of berlin and after a bloody battle the red flag was flying over the german Reichstag(parliament building).During the soviet advance red army soldiers had seen the aftermath of many nazi atrosities and in turn had inflicted many atrocities on german civilians but it was no where near as bad as what the nazis did. And although stalin was a totalitarian who violentley supressed religion he built up the countries industry and economy which was the only good thing he did but most Soviet leaders after him were much better. Although many people say the soviet union was an aggressive dictatorship but they have overlooked many american faults such as the legality of the Ku Klux Klan,supression of minorities,the red scare,invasions of Cambodia,Nicaraugua,Panama,El Salvador,Honduaras,Grenada,The Dominican republic,Iraq (all in the name of democracy)and numerous interventions eg Korea and vietnam which made those countries worse off,support for zionist israel and suplying weapons to osama bin laden and sadamm huesein. But enough of political bullshit. The soviet union during the cold war had the largest military and the second largest economy in the world.The first man in space was soviet.Although soviet citizens had less rights then the average american citizen healthcare was free and housing was more affordable.when political reformist Mikhail Gorbachev came to power he started to reform the economy(perestroika) and political system(demokratizatsiya) but hard line communists did not like these reforms resulting in the august coup.Although the coup was crushed the soviet union finally and peacefully split up(unlike Yugoslavia).
the Soviet Union and USA were equal evils both equally responsible for death,destruction and opression. Teacher:what have we learned today class? Students:Superpowers are gay

Get the Soviet Union mug.A beautiful campus, but it's everybody's second choice. Maybe it's not a "new ivy" but it sure as hell is a hidden gem. People here love to party and dance. Security is lax, and waves as people walk by holding alcohol. We are preppy and everybody has something designer. From shoes to purses, to sunglasses: armani and coach aren't in short supply. The guys here are crazy and pretty sketchy, almost every frat is known for roofying girls. The sororities are full of cocaine and all the girls are blonde and beautiful. We are the real thing, we are better than orange county because everyone is old money here. Fuck your beaches and surfing, we've got Galas and heritage. We hate the town we live in because it's trashy and rundown...it used to be amazing before everything fell to hell. This school has been here forever and it's not going anywhere, so get used to it.

"You serious, I wouldn't touch THAT with my thang. Just resorted to using the soap dispenser on her instead, to deal with the awkwardness. She was a "two pumps, followed by a foamy blast" kinda dispenser"

A union Monopoly is a union which has large amounts of political power and social influence.
These types of unions are often monopolistic in terms of forced unionization,
and are Coercive in terms of involuntary labor practices.
over time union monopolies start providing less and less services later asking members for more fees in return for less union services. Union monopolies often times bribe political officials to prevent companies from leaving their situated areas or governments from reworking their contracts. They are also unwilling to negotiate so they often times bankrupt the same companies or cities of which their workers they represent
Union monopolies Are known to bribe political officials in attempts to enforce all citizen workers under a single union. some politicians known to support union monopolies such as democratic socialist Bernie sanders whom has been a vocal supporter of forced unionization.
Sadly many citizens are often times unaware that unions are just as corrupt as corporate monopolies.
the intentions may be different, but the means are all the same.

Voters vote in Bernie sanders. Bernie sanders has been bought by the union monopoly. The unions fund his campaign, the workers fund the unions. The voters pay for union backed companies and union worker government services.

Get the 41 Union roller coaster mug.In England, evidence that England continues to consider itself the ruler of, rather than a member of a union with, Scotland and the North of Ireland, never mind Wales (which is not represented at all). In Scotland, evidence of a persistent insult (the English St. George Cross is superimposed on the Scottish St. Andrews Cross). In the Republic of Ireland, an astonishing testimony to English arrogance, given the insistence of the English on not changing the flag after 1922 to reflect the fact that Ireland threw the English out.
