Economically it was left, yes, and that actually saved the state from the Depression (and people say communism is bad. Bah! This is a thing that makes me largely in favour of leftism, because communism actually worked instead of the capitalistic "solutions" the Conservatives and US made). But socially the state was too far right that people fail to see the economic advantages of communism, and I would even say that isn't totally unfair (most communist regimes and states are absolutely terrible examples of communism).
Since you were talking enthusiastically about ethnic cleansing a day or two ago, the answer is "no".Koko wrote:Don't you think i'd have educated myself more?

Leftists generally understand
that to be socialist means to have these attributes:
- no currency/market (in the liberal sense)
- no state
- no vertical hierarchies (i.e. class)

Communists believe a sort of transitional state apparatus or similar institution is required to guide and protect the revolution from sabotage and help transition existing capitalist systems into socialist ones. This is historically a source of conflict between the two groups.
