Why do so many American Liberal Socialist and Democrats miss the Soviet Union but Hate Russia?
But then the answer would be obvious and the article obviously Fake News.
People need to get in their heads that there is genuine hatred of America in this world, there are nations and peoples who do will take our money and protection and give us nothing back but hatred.
Take Japan - we protect them from invasion of the Red Chinese and their “thank you” is to refuse to accept that Pearl Harbour was wrong and a desire to screw is in business
Hard to say, but the California legislature is doing its best to replace it.
Most Democrats think the only thing wrong with the Soviet Union was that there were a bunch of smelly Russians in charge of it instead of themselves. That’s why the left hates Russia today. They will never forgive the Russians for the failure of Communism.
NOBODY misses the Soviet Union
Its the Washington Post again trying to start a new Cold War on behalf of people like Obama, Soros and other statists/globalists.
A lot of money can still be made off a cold war. Libs know that and make a fortune off of it.
Also, libs would prefer that Americans view someone other than muzzies as our enemy.
If they lived in the Soviet Union, they probably weren't the ones thrown into a Gulag, tortured by the police, or given a bullet in the back of the head.
As President Reagan said, “How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”
A: Because they never lived there!
There is a large American faction that seems to think they can hate the USSR back into existence by blindly trashing today’s Russia. If they prove to be right, they’ll deserve the consequences.
Not sure "so many people" is right, but people in general need something to believe in and to strive for, and political types usually overestimate the ability of economics to fill the bill.

The USSR successfully infiltrated every Federal agency,most are still in very senior positions.
The Left has never forgiven the Russians for ditching Communism.
The left got money from the Soviets. Now they don’t.
Nobody over here in the US misses the Soviet Union -- apart from the tiny CPUSA clique. Younger people have forgotten the USSR existed or never knew it to begin with. Come to think of it, young Russians may not really understand what the Soviet system was actually like, and that's why they miss it.
