    Are you asking seriously? This happened countless times, you need only understand the Soviet system of Democracy to realize this. Hell, you can read a Wikipedia page on the subject if you wish. There’s also the Soviet Archvies, anecodtes from travelers like Pat Sloan, diaries, journals, newspaper articles, and so forth, though most are in Russian and never translated.

          You linked elections, you said people could voice idea and vote on them. Election is not voicing an idea.

              I feel like you’re the one moving the goalposts. Remember, this is what you said.

              Banning of factionalism was done when there were literal fascists and Capitalists trying to infiltrate the party and reinstate Tsarism for their profits. You were allowed to have different ifeas, voice them, and vote on them.

              You say they banned certain ideologies, but beyond that you don’t mention anything about elections or politics. You said people could voice different ideas and vote on them. You have not given actual evidence of that.

                  Your sources at not actual examples. They’re broad strokes of how it might’ve worked. You wanted an actual example of vote manipulation, I want an actual example of voicing an idea and voting on it.

                    Oh, you’re a genuine history denier and historical revisionist, lmao. Read the sources, not the headlines.
