Just a quick point, but thats not strictly true. Well - not necessarily anyway. Being a communist does not mean you support the USSR in all of its actions. As far as I'm concerned it does not even mean that you support the USSR in their view that they were communist at all. They weren't. Communism holds freedom and internationalism as central. After Stalin's counter-revolution these both went right out the window. So lets remember that being a communist does not mean you have to like the red army. I don't like them, and I certainly didn't like what they did in Afghanistan. They were just as bad as the West in terms of attempting to dominate the country and use it for tactical ends.

Communism holds freedom as central? then why are ALL communist regimes dictatorships? Since 1917 I haven't seen a democratic communist regime.
Yes, you might object they weren't true communists, they all misunderstood the Holy Kapital by Marx. Then I ask you, doesn't the fact that all of the communisrt revolution failed to be true communist mean that communism is an impossible form of government?
