Um... Spirytus Rektyfikowany is Polish spirit, and Poland is one of the most damaged by Soviets countries. To this day most Poles despise communism and by extension Russians and Russian satellite citizens like Ukrainians.
A nation where everyone is equal is impossible. It's basically a utopia. How can people understand each other when it's clear that we can't---laws are made and implemented precisely BECAUSE humans CANNOT understand each other. Wars happen for the same reason.

Yet Romantic tosh like the American Constitution and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man is still popular for a reason: those maps never matched the terrain, but people suck in the flattery that all men are equal and together embody sovereignty ( although not one in a million creates laws or influences policy ) simply because people die without ideals. Even silly ones.
Communism is an ideal system but it's impossible to achive considering human's nature.

Communism is a "perfect" idea on paper. But that's precisely why it cannot exist with how the world operates right now.
-P.S. I really want to give sobbing Gangut a hug right now.
Socialism, you mean. Communism itself has lots of places to fix. That's why they were striving for socialism. But I agree that the later generation got it wrong and it was kind of impossible from the get go.
Well, shit. A piece of doujinshi had us talking about politics. KanColle is dangerous.

Own interpretation, but I think it's not about making everyone equal (gun succeeded in doing that?).
It's about being able to be motivated to find a way so everyone can reach the enlightenment together, leaving no one behind.
Rather than about tearing your way to the highest height and "become inspiration" for others, to top over that, under assumption of limitless potential of individuals.

The Soviets were kind of average, actually.
France under the Ancien Regime was pretty much a shithole for anybody who were not nobility or clergymen. Wanted to climb higher in the social ladder? Too bad you are not Sir, Baronm Count of something, hah! Ministers proposed reforms to adress this issue (even one proposing that nobles could open business to earn money, and save the kingdom's treasury as a result), but noooo the Clergy and Nobility dug in their heels and refused because they didnt want to lose their privileges. This is why those ministers were eventually fired. And Revolution eventually came to be.
Romantic? But a product of people's wishes at the time.
Still better and much more applicable than what the Soviets tried to pass off as a good idea, so "tosh" would much more accurately be applied to that. And no, they were definitely below "average". Every big thing made of people --nations, kingdoms, etc.-- fucks up, but some definitely fuck up more than others. Much more.
Have a long day talking to Lenin and Marx about that, Gangut. The heart is there... but... err... the way it got implemented was a giant out.
Oh the heart was not there. Ask the Kronstadt Sailors about how much heart Lenin had for keeping his promises to the people. How they were at the head of the Revolution, were declared heroes, were the go to people for dealing with disputes and then when they had the temerity to try and make Lenin keep his promises to the people after seeing the Bolsheviks becoming the new nobility he declared them counter revolutionaries and had all the ones who didn't escape to Finland killed.
Comrade Gangut.Comrade Tiny One...Let's do our best, together!Socialism...
Even though it should be a perfect system~
Even though all my comrades said so...The Soviet Union has vanished again...Whyyyyyyy?Rare to see you so blotto.Pay it no mind, comrade.Uuu...Tiny one...!The Union does not disappear merely by temporarily having no member nations.The Union is here, always.The day of the world revolution is near!
