i’d say that it becomes an empty accusation in the modern context, yea. like, duh. the modern state is fascist. but it’s not useless to understand the characteristics of the systems that oppress us.
right. and while the ussr may have been socialist (i honestly don’t want to take a position on that), the features of the society that you cited are not explicitly socialist. you mostly cited the existence of institutions within the state and some statistics about the standard of living. those could appear in a fascist society, as well.

I didn’t say anything about whether the ussr was socialist. I said the evidence you gave doesn’t preclude the ussr from being fascist
