@CyberSocialist Regarding international sanctions against USSR, did you possibly note the values and objectives that were at the very core of Soviet ideology?

*World* revolution? Abolishing of capitalism *in the West*? Soviet *westward* offensive of 1918-1920? Amtorg Trading Corporation? Comintern? Assassination of Georgi Markov and other dissidents living *in the West*?

Still no idea why those to be "abolished" might not want to trade with USSR?
