Marxist-Leninist: Actually, the Soviet Union was dissolved illegally against the wishes of the people. And even today a majority of people who lived in former Soviet republics during the Soviet Union and currently live there say life was better back then. No country is perfect, but we should make sure to be skeptical of anything the West says about them.
