      Of course. Many nations have been 2 of the three. But nobody has ever been all 3, because 2 are antithetical to one another.

      e: obv the USSR was communist and authoritarian. Who said they weren’t?

        Looks like you know your prayers.

        “That didn’t happen.
        And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
        And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
        And if it is, that’s not my fault.
        And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
        And if I did, you deserved it.”

          ?

          I’m not defending anything. You seem too defensive for this conversation, if that’s what you think. (Judging by you downvoting my comments before you even reply, that’s becoming obvious.)

          Can you actually define the words you’re using, even to yourself? Or are you lashing out at me based on what you feel they mean?

          I’m willing to talk to you, but only if we can agree upon what words like ‘socialism’ mean. If not, we’ll only talk past each other, and I think you’ll agree that will waste both of our time.
