Noam Chomsky: The Soviet Union was the exact opposite of Socialism

Name: Noam Chomsky: The Soviet Union was the exact opposite of Socialism

Description: Socialism means that working people are in control of production and communities are in control of their own lives. The Soviet Union was the exact opposite of that. The working people didn't have control of anything. They were virtual slaves.
