Some smartass will surely point out how under capitalism deaths are a misfortune while under communism they are a feature. This will be followed by some moral arguing based on propaganda lies designed to make simpletons bleed for their masters' interests.
>>
>>2434861
Allowing people to make choices that lead to death does not mean you killed them. When you take those choices away and the state commits actions that can be directly linked to human death and suffering, it's fair to blame it on the state.

The Balts, Poland, East Germany, Hungary and Bohemia were better off leaving, all had a rough transition period but they knew it would be difficult and pushed through it.

In terms of deontological ethics it was justified. The subjugation had to end.

It is debatable whether it was utilitarian. I would separate how utilitarian it was into 2 types, "plain" and "overall".

In terms of "plain" utilitarianism, as in just measuring up the consequences to the people, arguably the Russians and other eastern Europeans were poorer and needed the economic stability, Yugoslavia definitely needed both economic and poltical stability.

In terms of "overall" stability, taking into account human nature and politics, this would have been a pipe dream. Poles resented the Soviet Union, Romanians resented Ceaușescu and would have never allowed it and no one had the gift of foresight so there was no way to convince them to compromise for humanitarian reasons. It had to be a sudden change with no illusions about what is happening to topple brutal authoritarian regimes.

The complete opposite is true but you are too spooked to see it. Dictators, who are just as bad as you imagine capitalists to be, intentionally cut off their population from the outside world to make them easier to control. They deny them economic opportunities to better themselves and foreign aid.

That is simply because the communistic / socialistic economy differs so greatly from capitalism and cannot compete with the latter, so it must be isolated, or the communistic uprising must be global, as is the end-goal of the ideology.

>>
>>2435734
You need a wider lens dawg. Most of that GDP was concentrated in the hands of the international capitalist elite who run all those countries. The standard of living between Hungary and Austria, or East and West Germany, was nowhere as broad as GDP alone would suggest.

More importantly, western capitalist nations had access to 95% oh the third world's resources. This both allowed for cheap goods and cheap labor, but hurt the third world massively as their economies fell under the control of foreign companies and corrupt collaborationist governments.

While the Soviet Bloc was unacceptably repressive and almost as imperialistic as the West, its internal and external economic relations were far more equitable. There was not the kind of exploitation you saw in the Soviet economic sphere. If the socialist world was wider, and included formerly imperialist nations, the average standard of living would have substantially exceeded that of the West.

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Quality of life in the Soviet Bloc was pretty shit for most of the population. I don't believe you've actually gone and talked to many people who lived through that period, or even read many firsthand accounts. There was a really big gap between well-connected Party insiders and common folk. It's true that most of said Party insiders had less than e.g. western millionaires/billionaires but that's pretty small comfort when EVERYBODY has less of EVERYTHING. You can't blame all of this on poor access to resources -- hell, when it came to many resources the USSR *was* largely self-sufficient. I'm talking about people lacking access to basic commodities and food, medical care, labor-saving equipment, etc. The Soviets simply never figured out how to distribute goods and services as efficiently as a market could have. I'm not particularly right-wing, not ideologically invested in capitalism at all, but that's a fact, they simply weren't good at it. All that went double for the peripheral SSRs, for Asian Russia, and so on -- contrary to popular belief there did exist more to the country than Moscow and Leningrad and while life might not have been hellish elsewhere it generally was not comfortable.

All this at a time when in much of the west the middle class was for the first time in history the LARGEST social class, when the average man was in fact better off than he'd ever been before, both in absolute terms and relative to the rich.

cont'd chewing you out in a followup post because this got long
>>
cont'd

It's an anecdote (and one I've told on here before), but it's a pretty good example of the kind of thing I'm talking about: my old Russian professor was born in Latvia and lived there til she managed to get out in her 30s. In the USSR there were general stores for most folk and then special stores for Party insiders and other people who had "performed services to the Party." One of the only ways for common folk to get access was by being a "Mother Heroine" i.e. a woman who'd had a whole bunch of kids (started at I believe 5 and eventually they hiked it up to 10 (!)) Given that most women had full-time jobs and were still culturally expected to cook, do most household chores and take care of all their kids, even having 3 kids was a pipe dream for most women, fucking forget about 5 or 10 (Track down a copy of Nedelya kak nedelya for a good look at what even a *lucky* woman's life was like -- one with a *good* husband and a *very good* job -- in summary, it was exhausting.) Basically what I'm getting at is these special stores were off limits for most people.

So, my Latvian Russian professor. When she hit about 30 she started feeling kinda crappy. Her husband took her to the doctor and sat in the waiting area while he took her back. At some point he heard her sobbing and rushed into the room where the doctor had just diagnosed her with Type 2 diabetes. The punchline? They were tears of joy. People with serious medical conditions got special passes that let them shop at the special Mother Heroine stores, which meant she'd actually be able to buy diverse and healthy food, and not have to wait in line for hours after work at the regular store before rushing home to take care of her family.

To recap: the Soviet Union was SO SHITTY at getting basic necessities to its citizens that BEING DIAGNOSED WITH DIABETES was one of the happiest moments in a woman's life.

That sounds like one of those reddit-tier "such is life in Latvia" jokes, but that really happened.

Most of these countries aren't "true socialism".

Were the 50 million British famine deaths in India entirely excusable to you then? And if so, why aren't the famine deaths under Mao and Stalin excusable?
>>
I know that's just one anecdote, but I could lob others at you for literally hours.

Quit making apologies for the Soviet Union (or the other governments under their wing). Life wasn't bad because of the big bad western imperialists or collaborationists or because it WASN'T BIG ENOUGH. It was bad because it was run by incompetents who had no idea how to manage an economy and were unwilling to consider new innovations or to even admit that what they were doing wasn't working very well, who rewarded ass-kicking over actual results, who valued their military-industrial complex over their citizens' quality of life and who were often outright corrupt. This to the concrete detriment of hundreds of millions of innocent people. It just wasn't a good thing.

My parents were already drinking smuggled Coca-Cola and reading smuggled magazines, so were their friends, so was everyone who despised the system, e.g. most people.

A capitalist regime is not a thing.
Capitalisim is purely an economic theory. It makes no calls for grand social change or revolution, it merely says: if you want your economy to be efficient and produce what people want, let the free market do it.
While this is of course a gross simplification of capitalism and ignores the many competing schools of thought it contians, that is fundamentally what capitalism is. Because of this lack of entanglement, where capitalism is not tied to any singular social structure, type of goverment or paticular group of people. It is fundamentally divorced from the actions of any reigme, and as such isn't to blame for the actions of any regime.

With communism, this is not the case. While we can debate endlessly about what is or is not "real communism," in the end communisim is, in every single form, tied to a class of people and type of society. That is the fundamentals of the theory: the working class overthrowing the capitalist and creating a society where the means of production is commonly owned. Because of this, communism, unlike capitalism, is not divorced from society, but fundamentally linked with it. While the USSR may not be marxist communist, the variant of communism it practiced was fundamentally tied with the society of the USSR, and thus the acts of the USSR are the acts of Soviet communism.

Yeah, being sent to a Gulag sure is a fucking economic dynamic, lad.

Being executed by the Khmer Rouge sure is an economic dynamic.

Being starved to death because your leader hates fucking birds sure is an economic dynamic.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, in the application one needs to write to become a Communist, the boxes "autistic" and "retard" must be checked.

>>2445134
It's the other way around, son.

Socialist states aren't communism anon

Communism was the ideal they were working toward

I'm late to reply, but let me ask you something: does it sound like I'm speaking from ignorance here? Or that I know what I'm talking about?

The person I am talking about got out in the late 70s. Most of the firsthand stories I've collected from other Russians and especially from other people in the non-Russian SSRs & other peripheral states of the Eastern Bloc (Tatars, Latvians, Czechs, etc) occurred in the 60s-70s, when things were going relatively *well*, although in retrospect the writing of the faltering economy was on the wall.
>>
If I wanted to stack the decks and tell horror stories about how bad things were at their worst, I would have gone a couple of decades *earlier.* But I didn't. I deliberately picked a period when the USSR had achieved many of its goals -- it was relatively self-sufficient, it had a very strong military and therefore was in no danger from invasion, it had industrialized and educated its labor force and had the theoretical means to provide its citizens with a decent quality of life, and, at least at the time, the whole system seemed pretty stable and not in any danger of toppling. And it still was, by western standards, a shitty fucking place to live, in completely preventable ways.

This is why literally no one takes you Commies seriously. Bernie, besides getting fucked mercilessly by his own party in favour of Clinton, had the shadow of "socialist" pending over him and thus drove many Americans away. That's how terrible it is to be even mildly influenced by anything related to Communist bullshit in 2017 (if it was 1980 he wouldn't even attempt to run).

You're a funny lad. Try again when you don't have a couple hundred million people as a body count.

Kek. What does that have to do with anything? Germany in Soviet hands had the name of "German Democratic Republic", if names is all you manage to cling on to, it shows how weak your """argument""" for Communism is.
Also, I wasn't aware NK was a paradise.

As I said here, >>2448401
All retarded and autistic.

>>2449099
yeah no
A "communist state" is an oxymoron. Communist has been tried (half assedly really, cause it's too prone to devolve into dictatorship) countless times but never got close to being reached

Why do all Commie autists argue like they're on Twitter all the time? Are they genetically predisposed to behaving like subhuman apes?

m8 it's literally a matter of definition
communism is inherently anarchic by definition, a communist state is an oxymoron, or a transitionary phase at best

It's been tried, but objectively nobody has gotten there.

Communism is society in the absence of class struggle, a market economy, and the state.

I know that isn't the case and you got to be dump to think that way but having the subject dress like a slave and serf in the first two and a communist in the third could give the impression communism is a slaving tool invented by the rich to keep down the poor
