Did Communism end in Russia after Stalin or does it still exist today? If it still exists today then renaming Stalingrad had little to do with Communism.

Most people using "woke" as a pejorative have no idea what the term means. It is beyond the scope of this thread but I suspect you and I different definitions for the term and how/where it should be applied.

While you and your parents were standing in the middle of the pool was it the communism, the "woke" (whatever that means to you), or the brutality that made it wet?
