I mean even if you think socialism is dumb it can still be of use to study how national economic planning worked.

Many people were better off during the Soviet Union than in modern Russia. Life expectancy was actually higher, suicide rates lower.

But it was still bad. The only thing that worked is a Socialism/Capitalism hybrid, practiced in the Western world between 1950 and 1990.

don't bother m8, it's a conditional response that has been taught to everyone in the US since the red scare.

You know, the whole irony when they laugh at Russians for being indoctrinated by communism when they themselves have been indoctrinated and conditioned to respond negatively to anything and everything related to communism like you condition a dog to do simple tricks.

I find it amusing how during the cold war everyone in the US was scared to shit about keeping up technologically with the USSR because they were advancing so fast and making so many discoveries, but now everyone has been brainwashed into thinking that never happened. Protip: despite having a much smaller population than the US and western world, most of the technologies we take for granted today originated in the Soviet Union.

Step 1: sell oil
Step 2: profit

that's basically it

My family was involved with the Soviet economics. How did the Soviet economics compare to modern North Korean economics?

What technologies are talking about? Maybe in aeronautics or the military they were on a par with the US, but what concerns consumer goods, the commie production was ridiculously bad.

>Get a car design drawings from the westerners
>Then manufacture a model made by those drawings for decades

How do you like that?

Consider though that automobiles didn't really change much in the US either between the 1950's and late 1980's. Auto manufacturers here just made a whole bunch of cosmetic changes so that you would want to buy a car even though it didn't perform much differently compared to your previous one. The Soviets were more efficient in that their cars were designed around utilitarian requirements instead of marketing.

>utilitarian requirements

You what m8, some of their cars didn't even have seatbelts. They also were really shitty and broke down often. The only good thing about them was that they were primitive so that the driver could fix it himself in a shitty garage like pic related.

Also US cars didn't have seatbelts during this era either. And American auto manufacturers were intentionally designing cars with corrosion problems so that you would have to replace your car more frequently too

Just lol @ this thread

>>1621291
You had to sign up 20 years in advance for that car without seatbelts

>>1621424
>this era

What period are you talking about? Because 20 years, like from 1965 to 1985 are really a lot in terms of technological advance. The point is, the Soviet engineers copy a design of an Italian car in the 1970s, and they keep manufacturing the same model for almost 20 years. How do you like that?

Compare such Lada made in 1985s with a German or American car made in the same year, and maybe then you'll understand how atrocious the Soviet industrial sector was.

>And American auto manufacturers were intentionally designing cars with corrosion problems so that you would have to replace your car more frequently too

That's another problem, but in the capitalist world you at least have the money to get it fixed or buy a new one whereas in the USSR you were basically a servant of your car--take care of it as if it were your child because you'll never have a chance to get a new one.

The saddest about this is that in the Western standards commieblocks are welfare-recipient and ghetto tier whereas in the USSR, everybody had no choice but to live in shitholes like these.

And there people who defend a system like this

Funny thing is,that a two bedroom flat in this type of apartment now costs around 50k€.I can get a three bedroom flat in chicago for the same price.

You could argue that's because of lack of alternatives.
