Those non-violent protests shook them so bad they wanted to charge non-violent Quaker protestors with terrorism.

    Oh yeah 100%, I don’t place the blame solely on the US or the USSR, it’s on both. I don’t like any state, US and USSR included, and imperialism isn’t exclusive to capitalist states. The USSR is way too demonized in the US education system though, it gets treated as some ultimate evil of history, only responsible for bad things, when it wasn’t really doing anything the US wasn’t also doing.

      Yeah, the US education can be very chauvinist. It definitely was in the part of the US where I grew up.
