1936: The Rights the U.S. Still Won’t Guarantee - Lady Izdihar (3 min 51 sex)
Constitution of the Soviet Union - 8th All-Union Congress of Soviets
This Soviet World / (Audiobook) - Anna Louise Strong (1936)
I’m not sure what the point is here considering the current countries where these constitutions were drafted are both in a terrible state. Something that a constitution is supposed to provide a basis against.
Edit: don’t get me wrong, the difference between the intent of both constitutions is fascinating and worth attention.
The USSR no longer exists as a political entity. During its time, it was enormously progressive, and the democratic means by which its constitution was drafted is a reflection of that worker authority. It’s a meme contesting the idea of “Soviet authoritarianism,” the soviets used authority in favor of the working classes, by the working classes, while the Statesians used it by and for capitalists.
