	In 2016 a [[Politics#Falsifiers\|left-wing candidate]] Bernie Sanders attempted to secure the presidential nomination for the Democratic party. He ate shit and lost. Then he did the same shit again in 2020. Despite having literally zero effect on actual government, he would end up getting a lot of young leftists into politics. The Democratic Socialists of America, previously a small organization of [[Jotun\|geriatric liberals]], would be flooded by [[liberalism\|radlib]] college students who post on left-wing twitter and listen to Chapo Trap House. This new wave of ~~Members~~ would go on to start a bunch new factions within the organization, including the DSA Communist Caucus and DSA ~~libertarian socialist caucus~~. Funnily enough, this makes the DSA more radical than the Communist Party USA, a remnant from the 30s which mostly just endorses [[Politics#Deniers\|Democrats]].

== The USSR ==

[[File:StalinMeme.png|150px|left|thumb|So freaking epic!]]

A couple decades later this guy [[Kenya Not|Lenin]] would lead a communist revolution in Russia. The communist Bolsheviks would take control and establish the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics or USSR. When Lenin croaked, Stalin took power and began manipulating the Soviets into doing what he said using his mustache. He would do battle with the Nazis as chronicled in the game [[RTS|Company of Heroes]]. After World War Two, the USSR became one of America's worst enemies and you know what I'm not writing a history of the Cold War that's [[grave|someone else's]] job.

Since the USSR was located in the same place as the old Russian Empire, Communism is seen as heavily Russian. From slav-squatting Russiaboo teenagers to Ukraine Flag Twitter, a lot of people think that Communism is inherently linked to Russian culture. This leads to a lot of [[cringe|dumb posts]] but can also be funny. Я о́чень рад, ведь я, наконе́ц, возвраща́юсь домо́й!

The USSR is long gone but lives on in our hearts through bad [[memes]] and obscure [[Politics#Falsifiers|Marxist-Leninist sects]]. Its iconography mostly involves overusing the color red, pictures of Stalin, dressing warmly, and putting little pictures of stars and tools on everything. Examples of the USSR's imprint on [[Reconstruction Era]] include red army choir music, a couple Communist [[civ]] nations including the [[CSSR]] and [[CRS]], and the numerous custom emojis which are literally just hammers and sickles. You have to admit that it's a pretty fun aesthetic, although drinking too much of the Soviet coolaid makes you a [[guns|tankie]].

Funnily enough, this makes the DSA more radical than the Communist Party USA, a remnant from the 30s which mostly just endorses [[Politics#Deniers|Democrats]].
