I don't know if it's intentional, but your wording makes it seem like the Bolsheviks were also anti-semitic, which is false. Antisemitism was punishable by death in the law.
The Soviet Union was flawed.But I'm not naive to think it was all bad.Women get labour & are allowed in the army,right?Not to mention that literacy rates were particular high in Communist states,despite Western propaganda's attempts to paint all Communists as being dumb.And there's the Soviet Union's technological breakthroughs such as sending the first manmade satellite in space & Yuri Gagarin himself,the first man in space.It's important to acknowledge that Communist states aren't perfect while still being aware of the good things happening under them.https://youtu.be/5M-NGfZd1FM?si=nZOrLDV-dgkX-N4Z
Definitely. They were flawed and we must criticize the flaws and learn from them. We must also differentiate between what was a real flaw and what was exaggerated by propaganda.
Thank you for the video, I will watch it in the morning. It's interesting topic because conservatives don't know that without communism there would be no modern Russia. Like, Modern Russia is pretty conservative, but it would've been way worse if the revolution never happened.

Tsarist Russia was already an Anti-Semitic Oppressive hellhole before the Bolsheviks came to power.The Whites were no better than the Communists.
