They did NOT avoid it. They overcame it (sort of) after decades of hell. BIG DIFFERENCE!!! Please don’t romanticize Russia folks. That sound you hear is Reagan spinning in his grave!

Reagan always embraced the Russia people and hated Communism. Get your facts straight. Or are you just a Russian hating bigot?
I’m not romanticizing anything.
The vile, putrid slime that is cultural Marxism is the old Soviet Union’s cold dead hands still polluting the West to this day. They did not have to anticipate every madness the left now embraces, probably couldn’t even fully imagine some (transgenderism come to mind), all they had to do was create a very special sort of useful idiot that would propagate and pervert itself.
What I just described though is different from the revolutionary Marxism’s effect on their culture: they had exceedingly bad ideas but they wanted their system to survive so they avoided some of the same things (like acceptance of homosexuality) that the useful idiots abroad whose function was to tear down their own societies were encouraged to embrace.
So to summarize: communism is as bad as bad can be, as bad as Islam, but communists weren’t necessarily crazy ... that distinction was encouraged for cultural Marxism which is communism’s incestuous love child with Hell.
