ProfessorNo, it was a communist country, from my history textbook.
Yes, it was. Soviet Russia was a socialist country because it had none of the aspects of communism that Karl Marx said communism would have. First, there was a government, and a very repressive one at that. Marxian communism would have no government at all. Government would have "withered away" according to Marx as being unnecessary.
Soviet Russia was still a society of classes, whereas communist society would be a classless society.
Even Marx knew that communism had to be preceded by a long period of socialism during which time all remaining vestiges of capitalist thought would have to be wiped out. He predicted this would take generations.
