So what exactly was the difference between the Tzars Russia and Soviet Union?
It seemed worse with all the artificial famines, mass killing of intelligentsia, party politics, exploitation of the proletariat with mandatory quotas and corruption.
No democracy that actually reflected the will of the people

It definitely wasn't. Under the Tsar, like 85% of the population were impoverished peasants and you still got to enjoy the secret police and dictatorship on top of that. At least the USSR was a social 'democracy' and provided relatively solid living standards for its population for the most part, with healthcare, housing and education for everyone. Hell, it was probably better than modern Russia, disregarding the outliers of its final collapse and Stalin's more retarded moments. The USSR was shit and the result of the failure of the post-WW1 revolutions, but it was still better than the trash it replaced.

Funny how the people who say this are the ones who know the least about the soviet way of government
