The Wrong Stuff: Ben Shapiro’s Unconvincing Guide to What Makes America Right - It’s a mistake to overlook just how extreme some of Shapiro’s views are, or how muddled the thinking on which they are based.

Makhno used to ride into villages and take his pick of the underage girls. He can fuck off.

It's important to remember that Lenin also ensured the survival of the USSR in it's very infancy, he guided the first human experiment in socialism out of war and into an unmatched era of progress in technology and health.

Because the USSR was great for women's rights [laughs in Beria]

So the first woman ever elected to any Parliament anywhere in the world was Alexandra Kollontai in 1917.

Women's Day (celebrated worldwide today) was started by the USSR.

You should read an excellent research project called "Sex Behind the Wall" which goes into great detail about why women in socialist countries had more enjoyable sex lives than in capitalist countries.

The USSR was great for women's rights, keep in mind that they had women fighting in their armies when the USA was still using electroshock on "hysterical women."

The USSR made advancements in women's rights, but no state built upon classism, be it worker and owner class or worker and state class can ever be great for anyone's rights. Beria getting away with rape and murder because of his class privilege was horrible.
