These Soviet and US grocery store stories are so fricking cringe ๐Ÿ’€ : ShitLiberalsSay

Yes they are. Losers coping is always cringe.

That's right! It's time for a 911roofer megathread!

I'm only posting loser's coping. I could farm it out for days but I don't hate you or myself enough to do that.

Or it would be if most of the commie dubs weren't just head in the sand r-slurs. This is going to be a short megathread

A lot of people seem to really :marseythinkorino2: not understand how deteriorated the soviet :marseytrotsky: union :marseycommunist: was before :marseyskellington: it collapsed. They think :marseyphilosoraptor: that all the rotting soviet-era stuff is only bad/ugly now, because it hasn't been maintained since '91, but the reality is that a LOT of different :marseydumbcomparison: institutions were already completely rotted away already.

That's also part of the reason why the fall of the Soviet :marseysaluteussr: union :marseyangelamerkel: was so brutal :marseyshredded: in some areas

I hate how they say they eliminated hunger. Hunger has been eliminated in the usa since like the 30s. Yeah sure I guess some Soviets have more bread and therefore technically they are less hungry but they eat the same 5 things every day? I doubt they have a high nutritional equivalence.

There hasn't been a famine in the US since the colonial era. Malnutrition during the 1930s was a product of the Great Depression and while it was bad it was far from being a famine. Meanwhile the USSR suffered from mass famine in the 30s and China suffered another in the early 60s which commies blame on "bad weather", as if bad weather only affected communist countries during that era.

It's also funny how commies ignore the fact that the USSR was buying wheat from the US in the 1970s.

Wow! Correct me if I'm wrong, but do you mean to say that a country that was being embargoed by the world's largest provider of grain while also being on the verge of collapse didn't have shit tons of food just lying around?

It's always this excuse. Fricking heck.

even still they DID produce grain, just not enough. They were, in a sense, capable of producing plenty of food, but a combination of the terrible soil, weather, and several droughts meant just growing more grain to produce a steady and stable amount of food for their massive population wasn't really feasible.

Holy shit, imagine controlling a vast landmass with the coveted black soil, and still not able to match the food output of the decadent United States.

In my research the best socialist country was the DDR.

What a low bar to clear. It was so good, that people constantly tried to escape it.

Even the first thread is going to give me a brain aneurysm.

Then this gem came up in the third thread:

I hate that grocery anecdote. It would just prove that Yeltsin never read any Marx since otherwise he'd know the crisis in capitalism is in overproduction.

We need to produce less, and potential keep the population poor, to keep the workers fed!

Yeah, if cumminism can only survive on capitalist handouts ( :marseythonk: why does that sound familiar...), how do they envision global communism to work?

Ah right, magically when theres no more capitalism, all the faults of communism will suddenly disappear and the system will finally work. And if it doesnt work, its because there is some remote pocket of capitalists left that must be genocided reeducsted to finally cleanse the juju.

The CIA had a really hard time gathering accurate information on the Soviet Union. Heck everyone, even the Soviets didn't have accurate information on the Soviet Union. Even the collapse came as a shock. There's a great book called Collapse about the fall of the USSR. There's a B plot about the American response. Everything came as a shock. Bush had to be woken up at his vacation home when the USSR dissolved. Ironically, the only time commies mention the CIA as a credible source is when they bring up that study.

I remember reading about a Soviet defector, an economist who worked for Gosplan, who arrived at the US in the late 70s and warned the Americans that the Soviet GDP was just 1/4 that of the US (the Americans estimated it at around 50% of the US GDP) and that the country was going through an economic stagnation which could end on a crisis.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

When Brezhnev coup de ta'd Khrushchev, he brought in an era of stagnation. Andropov knew this back in the early 70's. He warned Brezhnev about it, but was ignored. Andropov was head of the KGB so he was the best informed of all aperachiks. Had he taken over in the 70's the USSR may have survived in a way, though more akin to China. Gorbachev was Andropov's protege and instituted his reforms, but by then it was too late. Contrast that with Deng Xao Ping in China who saw the writing on the wall after Mao died.

The CIA went by claimed production numbers for raw ingredients, like milk, flour and the like.

They completely ignored (because they had no way to estimate it) the rampant lying about production or the inefficiencies and idisyncracies of the system fun story about soviet whaling. If the soviet prosuction report said they prosuced 200 tonnes of grain, then the population had 200 tonnes of grain to eat. The loss during processing due to the outdated peocesses, the inflated production numbers, the corruption... all of it wasnt factored it.
