Idiots conflating shortages with starvation. No one was starving in the USSR since basic staples were always available. But the variety and availability of goods in a typical US supermarket was basically a luxury in the USSR, only available in special grocery stores for the political elite.

people did starve in the ussr. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1932%E2%80%931933
What you mean is that for much to most of the USSR especially late to people didn’t starve. Which is true! And shortages of basic goods from good food to simple necessities was still quite bad. A part to cars to apartments etc
