totalitarianism
Soviet Union was communist.
The Soviet Union was a state capitalist dictatorship. Those who controlled the government formed the ruling capitalist class. Communism will have no government.
The answer to this question is very simple. The Soviet Union governed much closer to her desired polictical ideology, Communism. Take this exaple: Hitler who is believed to be an extreme Facist, was auctually more centered than the current George Bush! So yes, the Soviets respected their chosen ideology more than that of the Nazis.
Ideology was the underlying reason for East-West tensions during the Cold War. When the Soviet Union and the U.S.A. emerged from WWII as the worlds most powerful nations, it was inevitable that their conflicting government ideologies of capitalism and communism would lead to hostility. Therefore, although not always directly involved, it put both countries on a collision course and provided them with reason for sustained suspicion, even during periods of detente.
It empowered angry citizens to protest against communism and the Soviet government.
