Calling an admin an alt account is a bold play.

If you look at their past interactions with “tankies”, they’re all the opposite of what you say they should be: it’s the “tankie” calmly and reasonably making their points while SoftestSaphic immediately descends into an incoherent raging tantrum.

Not them, but yes, absolutely

I think there are

Yes, and that’s the arrogance that I was talking out; thinking that your completely baseless thoughts are worth sharing.

someone told me my understanding was wrong

From what I can tell, your understanding is still wrong, given this “I was a victim of propaganda” talk.

Humble would have been not asserting it in the first place.

You weren’t “a victim of propaganda”, my god, have some humility. What you were was ignorant.

The value is that maybe in the future you will think twice before popping off about subjects you literally don’t know the first thing about. Just to be clear, thinking that Russia still claims to be communist in 2018 is like thinking Germany still claims to be fascist or France still claims to be a monarchy. There’s nothing wrong with being ignorant, so long as you’re humble about it.
