Sure. My comment was intended to playfully criticize fantasizing about non-existent states, such as a Soviet Union existing fifty-ish years after its destruction. While I don't think states should exist generally, I find it humorous that people imagine and then defend non-existent states, and I would be really happy if every state was simply a thought exercise. The meme would be equally funny to me if someone were lamenting the loss of Prussia or San Marino.

It's more as a direct comparison to the loss of that massive Leftist state, and the replacement with the Russian Federation. The dissolution of one of history's largest Socialist projects is tragic.
