Because a good example may inspire their citizens to revolt against capitalism and overthrow their ruling class order. That's why they constantly attacked the Soviet Union from its inception to its collapse. Lecture by Michael Parenti (1986), American political scientist and Marxist. Lecture title: "Anti-Sovietism in the Media" #leftist #marxism #socialism #communism #ussr
