I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

Im sorry but I have to harp on this statement again.
I dont think your wrong that there is no confusion, if course America was the good side in the cold war. Russia literally almost started ww3 a few times, but saved by a few good men acting against orders if the russian empire.
Literally practically all of America would disagree with you? I think professors and scholars would disagree with you. I think historians and theologians would disagree with you.
Ahhh the reason you see no confusion is because all you hear is the propaganda from one side. Maybe try broadening your intake of information.
No, the USSR was consistently on the side of disarmament. The US Empire constantly refused disarmament, and was willing to first-strike the USSR, which the USSR never pushed for. The USSR was not an empire either, it did not function by international plunder.
If your point is that I only hear propaganda from one side, that side is the pro-US Empire side. There’s no “communist propaganda” in schooling, work, media, etc. Everything I grew up in and work in is meant to reinforce that status quo.
If we are comparing the two globally, the USSR was a friend to the global south while the US Empire has friends in the global north, ie imperialist countries in Europe and a handful elsewhere.
My only point is that your statement that:
Is just flat out wrong… there is a tremendous amount of confusion. I can’t even get you to understand this one simple point. Ive said it multiple times.
Good night young man
I’m aware that the standard opinion in western countries is pro-imperialist and anti-communist. Among the actual hard data we have, it’s irrefutable that socialist countries have been responsible for the greatest improvements in quality of life for the greatest number of people in the shortest timespan possible. It’s also irrefutable that the USSR was de-escalationary the entire Cold War while the US Empire was for escalation, considered dropping over a dozen nukes on Korea, etc. These are documented and accessible facts.
You have no idea how old I am, either, you just wanted to add a condescending jab because I refused to dox myself.
Whatever… youre fully indoctrinated into your bit. Thats fine. But you can’t even just focus on something simple. I have no idea how old you are physically, but I think I understand well how old you are mentally.
I’m not “indoctrinated,” I disagree with you firmly on something and have done the research and reading into it to make me confident in that. You insult my intelligence for disagreeing with you, while you provide nothing affirming your own point. It’s ridiculous.
