It wasn't an example of a corrupt regime, though, but of a failed one. The soviet union failed to live up to the promise of workers uniting for collective ownership, and it was failing as a dictatorship. The sign in the window here is not pretending a corrupt regime wasn't corrupt, but that a crumbling regime wasn't crumbling.

The current world order has been crumbling for some time. No one on the world has been willing to say so. He turned around and said "let it".
