Bro, the Cold War was literally an ideological battle of Capitalism vs. Communism and the former won.

That's a great oversimplification. Numerous factors contributed to the demise of the Soviet Union, mostly it was a failure of centralized administered production which culminated in irreconcilable industrial waste and the inherent authoritarian character of Soviet governments.
It is important to denote that communism didn't transpire in the Soviet Union, and Marxism-Leninism is just one socialist strategy of achieving communism. There are others, such as anarcho-syndicalism, which don't want a one-party state to direct production but want trade unions to build structure from the ground-up to conduct production on a decentralized scale and actually answer to local and community needs in an overall organization that retains individual autonomy and does not retain concentrated power or privilege.

Communism by definition is a direct product of Marxism that mandates overthrow of recent regime and overrun by a dictatorship of proletarians, no matter how you try to whitewash with all the hogwash you gota, one just can't deny the fact that SOVIET UNION WAS MARXISM IN ITS PUREST FORM AND IT F**KIN FAILED MISERABLY. Any other deviation of Marxism & Communism will fail without a doubt for its inherent ideological fault and inane uncouth framework.

No amount of political science and brain storming will be able to justify stupidity, immorality and weakness.

You don’t even get basic theory right, dude. You’re describing socialism, in Marxian terms. A dictatorship of the proletariat wouldn’t exist under communism, which is defined as a classless, moneyless, stateless society. There would be no state with workers at the helm and there wouldn’t be a distinctive class to drive the means either.

And no, the Soviet Union wasn’t Marxism in its purest form, either. Lenin and Trotsky may have regarded themselves to be orthodox Marxists, but Lenin’s ideology mistakenly embraced bourgeois materialism instead of Marx’s dialectical materialism. They also spearheaded the revolution through and retained their experiment under a vanguard party, which is unique to Leninist thought and not Marx. Marx also opposed democratic centralism when it was a German concept hailed by Lassale.

Even though Marxism-Leninism isn’t the true materialization of Marxian socialism, we could reasonably deduce that Marx’s prescription of a worker’s state would produce similar results. This is why alternatively, there are libertarian or anarchist communists who prefer structures built horizontally, and avoid a period of capitalist or state retention, and have decentralized workers’ associations proceed us into communism.

It's not how the framework was executed. It's about how it's built. That opinionated notion that a "state" led by "decentralised workers association" would proceed society to Communism ( a moneyless, "stateless", "classless" society) is abhorrently senseless.

It's like I wanna be a vegan so my diet consists of beef made of cow that only eats vegetables.

So are you just going to call it abhorrenly senseless or explain why you think that?

I'm calling a spade spade. It's a travesty that it requires an explanation.

Just read what you have written. Just read what I have written with emphasis. Otherwise I can't help you.

You’ve not said much of substance save some pretty words. I think you’ve got nothing for me.

Indeed I got nothing. You can't wake someone that ain't asleep.
