Swap Soviet and Soviet Union tag/alias

BUR #30493 has been rejected.

create alias soviet -> soviet_union
create alias ussr -> soviet_union

Another Oldbooru crap that no one seems to be wanted to taking care of. The tag "Soviet" was meant to be used for the former Soviet Union, yet due to how the tag is named simply as adjective (like how the United States tag is used to be called simply as "America"), it is used on many posts with communism symbols like hammer and sickle, even if that post is not related to the USSR at all.

Given how misleading the current title is, I suggest we should have switched the name "Soviet" into an alias for "Soviet Union" instead. Especially since the tag was meant to be used for a country. Also adding the "USSR" alias for utility purposes.

The hammer and sickle is a russian communist symbol so I think in most cases it would make sense for it to have the soviet union tag as well.

Well, other communist parties like the Chinese or the Vietnamese Communist Party also uses that symbol. So the hammer and sickle are not exclusively Soviet/Russian symbol.

If I do this, are we then going to have to deal with pedantic autists removing stuff from soviet union and moving it to soviet army?

And what about the Warsaw Pact countries that are tagged under soviet, ala soviet czechoslovakia, as a means of distinguishing different eras?

I think the tag communism is already suffice to cover that.
