: A debate about whether Sovietism was a good thing (which I agree it wasn't), with it's corresponding anti-Communist witch-hunt is not a trivial debate no matter how you see it.

A debate about whether Sovietism was a good thing is trivial because nobody is supporting Sovietism. It's trivial for the same reason, for instance, that nobody is debating whether murder is a good or a bad thing. Perhaps the witch-hunt isn't trivial -- the debate is.
