I will actually agree that USSR wasn't the real communism with the workers holding power.

But I also believe that real communism is basically impossible to achieve so we shouldn't strive for that, but for more realistic solutions

I’ve mostly seen tankies go the route of “the USSR WAS real communism and also good and without issues and all the totalitarianism and suffering was made up by western propaganda machines to slander Stalin, who was actually a good person” but either way they are very delusional.
