You sound like a freshman who's got his bong stuck so far up his ass it's impossible to see straight. The Soviet Union and the United States were working against each other and happened to achieve a certain bit of synergism that led them along the path to their goals. Both sides happened to be giant twats about the whole thing and did a lot of fucked up things in the name of the Cold War, which was in and of itself fucking idiotic. But that doesn't go a single whit toward explaining anything, and it certainly doesn't keep communism from being lumped in with what happened.
The problem with Communism is that it still has leaders and those leaders are never accountable enough, since they are the ones who write the accountability laws. It's a flaw of most major governmental systems.
And the idea that nationalism is somehow false because it is used as a tool of imperialists and capitalists could easily be changed over very simply to 'sex.' Saying that something is used as a tool by imperialists does not make it automatically invalid. If it was somehow invalidated simply because capitalists used it as a tool then most of the most important aspects of culture would be gone. That might feel comfortable to you as a whiny middle-class kid with more time than brains, but there are a lot of people who actually have cultures worth being proud of that you would gladly obliterate in order to make the world more perfect for your wankery.
tl;dr version: a13n, stop being such a fucking cunt. Your stupidity is flagrantly offensive to anyone subjected to your increasingly disjointed words. Die, if not in a fire, at least somewhere near a heat source.
