Bonus video from the same year at mighty Moscow grocery store for comparison:
Also in 1989:
Soviets trade 17 submarines, a cruiser, a frigate, and a destroyer for some Pepsi.

Capitalism gets all the credit for the grocery stores in places like Haiti too, or it should if we apply the same standard rightoids use in their ridiculous "victims of communism" screeds.
Capitalism has killed way more than sixty million people, like exponentially more, although that admittedly has been over much more time in many more places. Still, just during Churchill's life tens of millions of Indians died while they were subjects of imperial Britain. This easily rivals Holodomor or the the great leap forward, and it's just one colony. For some reason rightoids only apply the standard of "victims of this ideology" to communism.
Communism took Russia from a backwards feudal state and allowed it to industrialize in like 1/3 the time it took the west, and if capitalism is so obviously without fault one would think that thirty years of it would have made Russia richer and stronger...oops.

Not sure why they bother drawing the parallel as it's clear to see that victims of capitalism die because of a careless or evil administrator, whereas that is the central feature of communism

they always include every capitalist country and war deaths over a span of like 200 years to say "SEE! capitalism is way worse because it's killed way more than the soviets did!!!!!!!". for some reason they never include war deaths for communism, though.

Way more Americans have died than Russians if you start counting the Americans from the beginning of their history and count the Russians only from the Ukraine invasion.

Amazing that a country was able to develop industry in less than a century, with only perhaps a dozen successful predecessors to imitate. Shocking they ended up with such low quality industry given their fraternity and gumption.

They industrialized in 1/3 the time because they weren't starting from scratch. They didn't need to invent anything, they only needed to copy American and British innovations.

The death toll of communism has managed to kill more people than all of pre-capitalist societies combined, unironically.
