There is a reason why so many Russians hold high admiration for leaders like Stalin and Lenin but have an almost unanimous distaste for Gorbachev and Tsar Nicolas. While the leadership of the Soviet Union built Russia as a global superpower Gorbachev and the last Tsar both abdicated their own power and brought Russia defeat and hardship.
>>
Basically the reason Soviet Union came to be in the first place was that countries in the west supported left-wing version of ISIS to weaken the Russian Empire. The monstrocity that resulted was unsustainable since the country was incapable of providing its population with bread (USSR bought grain in Canada! Modern RF with all its oligarchs and crazy-ass corruption is a grain exporter) and fucking toilet paper.
After a time, the soviet elites decided to secede and the central government could do nothing, since it was heavily in debt and could not afford a Yugoslavia-style civil war.

Lesson: fuck communism, fuck marxism and fuck central planing.

> There is a reason why so many Russians hold high admiration for leaders like Stalin and Lenin but have an almost unanimous distaste for Gorbachev and Tsar Nicolas

Gorbatchov yes, Nicholas - not exactly true, Lenin is not viewed in high regard. Stalin is viewed in high regard because many people believe that if any other leader was ruling the USSR Germany would win WW2 and all Russians would be sent to concentration camps. With that kind of messaging it is easy for leftards to justify shit like collectivisation and mass deportations. "10 million people had to die so that we would have enough tanks to that every single Russian would not be genocided by Hitler". Literally that.

Wrong. Planned economics ruined the Soviet Union.

One needs only look at how the railroad was managed to see this. Production quotas from factories resulted in high productivity, but the resources were unneeded and unused. Trains were sent on pointless circular journeys to haul goods like iron and coal through siberia, dump it into a pile, and then go back and get some more. Very productive, very inefficient.

Communists in the USSR were nationalists. They destroyed the fag degeneracy of the old Tsarist system.

That poll was about "greatest people", some would interpret that question as "most famous Russians" or "most prominent Russians", which is why Pushkin is third. More correct polling would be to ask which historic personality did the most good for the country.
From personal experience talking to various Russians even Russian leftards, Lenin is not viewed in high regard. "Lenin destroyed the empire, Stalin brought the empire back", something like that.

> Like I said the long term gains were unrealized because of the adoption of State capitalism later on that crashed the country.

USSR had no state capitalism, there was a single building in Moscow (Gosplan) that gave quotas to all factories all over the country based on stupid marxist theories. No market mechanisms led to the situation where factories had no reason to make decent products since there was no competition and wheat was rotting in the fields since state-owned farms did not care enough to gather the crops.
Again, USSR bought grain in Canada! Superpowers don't rely on Canadian wheat bought by dollars made from selling oil. Even Russia has a more decent economic system than that crap.

First reason was a productional crisis. In soviet union there were *norms* of goods for the year. For example 1 billion rolls of toilet paper, 100 million toothbrushes etc etc, 10k cars. Who was left without goods can went fuck himself and waited in a queue. When crisis came to food people got mad. When Gorbachev ban alcohol people got very angry. Everybody hate communism, everybody.
Second reason was a nationalism in Ukraine, Kazahstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, Georgia, Lithuania, Estonia. Nobody like russians in these republics today and then.

It did not inherit any debt from the Russian Empire for obvious reason (bolsheviks simply decided we will not pay anything since we are a different country now).
The February revolution was a military coup where "hungry workers and farmers" had nothing to say. World War 1 was lost in many ways because left-wing agitators led to the collapse of the frontline, not because of German military victories or the fact that Russia was unprepared for WW1.

But again for commies out there, all that shit had nothing to do with why USSR bought grain in Canada, the sole reason the country could not feed itself was because the "Kolkhoz" system was retarded as shit and led to crops rotting in the fields.
LOL, there were widespread cases where young scientists and students had to work one day a week sorting rotting potatoes at warehouses! Not a joke!
Did the Czar do that too?

That is different weight categories when it comes to failed states.

>>133011828
It was only a matter of time with containment policy, less expansion meant less resource hoarding and less availability to working class hence stagnation following the surplus after ww2. It boomed periodically but only when it was grafting nations to itself and using military industrial complex+resources hoarded when a new nation was collectivised.
This is why containment policy was derived and why the Soviets attempted a breakout, without expansions the economy was doomed to collapse unless they committed to yet another massive purge but once glasnost occurred Soviet populace learned they got Hebrew hoaxed into fucking themselves and started rioting, either the USSR broke up at that point or faced a massive civil war with western interference and nuclear capabilities... Thank god they broke up so sensible as they did.

And thank god for Stalin purging cryptokikes out of sheer paranoia and creating socialism for one state that fast tracked their collapse, masterpiece.

Marxist interpretation which Lenin argued for calls for "state ownership of means of production". In a modern society even your fucking PC can be considered a "means of production". USSR literally arrested grannies which "speculated" by selling snacks next to beer stores!

You are confusing stalins mega-corpration and brezhnevs planned economy. Don't. Former is what responsible for industrialisation of Russian Empire, latter, for stagnation and poor living standards in USSR, and Perestroika, which was neither and performed by Gorbachev, is responsible for the fall.

Dude, that hoax is not even popular on oldschool web1.0 forums of KPRF party. Collectivisation and the starvation of millions of people was not because "evil capitalists would rather burn their crops than sell them" but because the ceized crops were sold to the West at low prices in order to buy factory equipment. That and the obvious fact that Kolkhoz system is retarded and leads to crops rotting in the fields.

Neoliberal capitalism is fucked up but the country can feed itself and even sell some grain abroad, while central-planning socialism leads to hunger and the country going into debt to buy Canadian grain.

USSR didn't make it because Brezhnev's model, which EU in a lighter form is currently trying to mimic for some despicable reason I can't comprehend, resulted in stagnation as it placed Ideology above common sense. That caused social strife, that led to political strife that led to 3 factions colluding, the reformists, the "traditionalists" (Brezhnev loyalists, loyal to his legacy) and nationalists. All 3 were led by spectacularly incompetent man. You can start a dick measuring contest between who of them was more naive, corrupt, or stubborn. But in the end nationalists one and destroyed USSR in their phyrric victory. But that wasn't enough for them they went on to destroy russian economy and sell it off to the oligarchs propped up by the west for pennies. That's when Siloviki, formerly backing traditionalists but having changed since then, took power and restored Russia, to some degree, we still have many problems to deal with, but it's important to place blame, and the gratitude, on the right people.

Combine that with authoritarian tendencies of the ruling elite to ban anything they dont like / jail anyone they dont like and you get the reason why Russian political system is in such a cucked multiculturalist state.

Gorbachov was a globalist who handed the reins of the Soviet Union to the IMF and the World Bank in exchange for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Yes, the economy was stagnating, that's no reason for a country to roll over and give up all its territory. Just look at North Korea, still standing.

The Soviet "collapse" was looting engineered from above. The Central Bank reserves dissapeared overnight. Critics of the Bildelbergs and the Trilateral Commission like US Representative Jerry McDonald were murdered.

It was all an organized looting by the Jews and the reason the Russians still despise the West today.

- Tatarstan (half population Russian, non-Russian ruling elites)
- Tuva with huge "white flight" of Russian population
- Chechnya, obvious example
- Dagestan which had a sizeable Russian minority years ago
- Stavropol which has replacement-levels of migration from neighboring muslim regions
- Even Crimea after reunification has the state promoting Tartar culture and Tartar political figures at the expense of the Russian majority.

Nice meme.

By the time the Berlin Wall was torn up, the guards had been given orders not to shoot, people were allowed to cross freely, and Russia had announced its troops were leaving East Germany. The government was dissolving itself.

It wasn't some "popular uprising defying authority", the East German government had rolled over and dissappeared by then.

They had a vision of united non-aligned with the US Europe and wanted to be part of that upcoming elite, then got refused. Yeltsin would have become just as stubborn as Putin by now.

In 1995 The New York Times already wanted another candidate to be the President, because Yeltsin was to patriotic. He did not like what was going on in Yugoslavia, invaded in Chechnya, etc.

Well one reason not to do it is because USSR and DPRK are very different nations with very different cultural norms and very different implementations of communist ideology. Say what you will about inefficiencies of the soviet union, but to compare it to DPRK is laughable. It sent first man into space for fucks sake, you can't do that by pointing a gun to someone's head, no matter how hard you try.

Another is the fact that DPRK never learned anything because dprk elites are an oligarchy not aristocracy, they are more concerned with their own self being than they are with future of their nation. If you want to send socialists somewhere to learn from, send them to China, that's a nation that looked at communism and instead of trying to make it work trough force for ideology's sake, they are focused on making it work for the best interests of their nation. Implemented in china modern statism, where both state and market captitalism coexists with state making sure that market one doesn't abuse the population or usurp the politics and market making sure state doesn't become stagnant and close minded, is a brilliant marrige of both the best capitalism and communism have to offer.

American interference in Russian elections in 1996 is one topic many Americans do not want to talk about.
But still, the country needed financial aid in order not to starve, Yeltsin needed money to avoid strikes and hunger that could get his political opponent elected, which is why all state-owned property was sold to anyone willing to buy it. Namely, the mafia and various small-time crooks we now know as the oligarchs.

Look at chinese factory workers, their working conditions, and the compensation they get for their labour. Shouldnt a socialist country defend exactly them as they are the poorest members of society that have only their labour to offer, why is this allowed?

Stalin wrested control of Russia from the Jews. This is why in the Cold War the Zionist globalists stopped supporting communism and started supporting the USA instead.

Soviet Union 1950s-1980s: White ethnonationalist state only supporting a token façade of its original communist ideas

>But still, the country needed financial aid in order not to starve
It's gonna sound horrible but sometimes letting a country starve is better than supporting the people running it just to keep it going. I do not agree with the notion that 1996 happened for humanitarian reasons, I find it preposterous, but for the sake of argument I'm willing to elaborate. Look at modern Ukraine, it's exactly in the same situation that Russia was in 1996 It's economy is collapsing, it's society exists on the brink of poverty and starvation and it's politics are build around one big lie "The west will save us." We can discuss Russia's own meddling and it's support for separatists, but it's no differen than what was going in chechnya in the 90s by the West.

Your choices when something goes this badly are force, patience or "starving the beast". No one wants to commit force, not even russia, no one in the west has the stomach to starve the beast, especially because that will result in geopolitical turn from ukraine and is otherwise an inhuman approach. But the problem is - as DPRK shows, patience doesn't work. Because so long as the system in place is corrupt it will remain corrupt untill the removal of corruption becomes necessary for survival of the system.

>>133028842
My point is that mass starvation happened in empires of that era. The fact that Soviets were less cheuvenistic about it is point FOR them, not against them. As the guy hiding behind Naz-Bol flag pointed out, Russian empire had plenty famines all it's own. I have no doubt that between Lenin's Raskulachivanie and Stalin's refusal to release reserve supplies they made it worse, not better, but the notion that it happened only because of Soviets is dellusional.

nigga soviet union was the biggest block of nationas and countries on this fucking planet where everything was interconnected to the level that even now 30 years later the old soviet networks are still working and countries just starve to shit when they got disconnected from "soviet union political and economical system". baltic countries went to shit even they live 120% from EU and USA finances. Caucasus countries still exists because they got brains in the last moment and kept the connections. (beside fucking georgians, who literally freeze and starve now)

Central Asian countries never left Soviet Union. They got own "freedom" but economically it is still all soviet union there. and dont let me star about fucking banderas..

Legit communism is not tolerated in any western capitalist nation, unions are continuously busted and broken down, the only philosophy permitted in the mainstream is liberal global capitalism.

You don't have anyone on the supposed "left" calling for lynching capitalists anymore, you don't have any politicians not being paid off by some fat rich hog trying to push an agenda, Bernie Sanders and Macron and Corbyn are not even "soft" socialists they're outright progressive capitalists and the fact that anyone even thinks otherwise is proof that the genuine left has no real influence on any power structure in the West, they have been pushed so far beyond the mainstream that Keynesians are being called socialists.

I do not wish to debate Marxist theory, I'm just stating thr facts. The Soviet Union as originally envisioned by Lenin and Trotsky was founded on globalist principles. It was meant to be the ultimate worker's state, a union of all nationalities under the banner of communist ideas.

Which is why the neutral name "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" was chosen, without even referencing Russia or any other nationality.

Stalin brought Russian nationalism back as part of the official state ideology.

Soviet Union was a shithole to live for people. They fucked up their economy by faking everything, simply couldn't sustain themselves anymore so they collapsed cause nations that were in USSR started rioting and asking more, simply cause all the goods they were making were taken away from them and transported to Moscow. Soviet Union was fake and gay, no glory there.

There would be zero difference had Trotsky became the head of the USSR. He'd more likely either invade Europe or declared Perestroika by the 1950s.

> It's gonna sound horrible but sometimes letting a country starve is better than supporting the people running it just to keep it going
Well, you would probably not be posting here had Gorbatchev followed your advice. The thing is once you reach this point you have already lost. The trick is not having a fucked up Kolkhoz system in the first place so that you never have to make a choice of either having the people starve or getting into debt slavery.

> The fact that Soviets were less cheuvenistic about it is point FOR them, not against them
You mean the fact that the Soviet starved European villages instead of starving non-European colonies? Whatever it is, it is not a point for the soviets.

> Russian empire had plenty famines all it's own
Famines in the Russan Empire were caused by weather conditions and were not anywhere close in scale to what happened in collectivization with up to 10 million people starving to death. Such a thing could simply not happen in any halfway-sane economic system.

>Shouldnt a socialist country defend exactly them as they are the poorest members of society
Not at the expense of the society as a whole. Oh sure china could dump all it's military and foreign budget and gut it's capitalists to supply the workers

>why is this allowed?
Because you have no conception of how hard it is to bring 1.3 billion people out of poveryty. They are doing the best they can, look at stats - they really are. And meanwhile they aren't living in a country that wouldn't give a shit about them, cause lol we can outsorce but in a nation that constantly works to improve their lot in life.

Tho as someone never having lived in China I could very well be misinformed by false stats, tho if you believe that stats coming out of CCP are fake, discussion about PRC is a pointless exercise.

>communist society
As I already noted in this thread, neither USSR nor PRC claimed to have acheived it, only to be working towards it. And that's demonstarbly true from stats coming out of both nations.

>but ends up having to implement "capitalist" reforms so that it doesnt collapse
Because capitalism is hella easy, compared to communism. I think if you've read my other posts in this thread you'd see that I'm by no means anti-capitalist leftie you are likely used to dealing with in EU, tho being from bulgaria I have no Idea what leftists are like in your nation. I, for a number of complex reasons, prefer end goal of communism. But I'll freely admit that there was any number of most spectacular fuck ups in attempts to implement it especially by people who put the ideology ahead of pragmatic realist needs.

What's with you and daring people. Provide actual counter arguments if you will, or fuck off. We have a saying in russia "people have the government they deserve" and I believe it wholeheartedly, for good and ill. Attempting to install or mainatin a government w/o popular support. no matter what government, always end in disaster of various magnitutdes.

If you want what's best you either have to go in and conquer and than rule the population, or you don't interfere and let people figure shit out for themselves. Not that either is a possibility in modern geopolitical landscape for most nations. But while sending food and medical supplies can at least be viewed as humanitarian effort, the moment you start sending capital you are undermining any hope the population has for actual change.

Nah mate, it happened on and off trhrout the years. Brezhnev's model caused stagnation in perpetuity and if it wasn't so shit at it's job people would never support the Perestroika.

Tho as the other guy pointed out, it's not like shit economic decisions were never made by capitalist state, they are just usually less impactful because market can adjust itself and stretch around the government's mistake. The only thing that could do that in USSR was black market, and the 90s were in many ways a consequence of this.

There was A threat, given that everything coming out of that period is someone's propaganda, it's hard to determine the magnitude of it or validity of actions against it.

A story my parents told me, a worker at a meat-packing factory told them never to buy sausage made in the morning. Why? Since noone cleaned the meat grinders all the time there were cases when rats got into the machine, and when it started in the morning the first sausages had rat meat, fur and excrements in them.
Obvious question, why don't you guys just clean the machines up? Answer: why bother when there is already a sausage deficit in the market and the sanitary inspection comes only once a year.

Even if the capitalist system has examples of similar shit happening, it is not that widespread as it was in the Soviet Union, since the factory owner will fire everyone once he learns of that kind of shit happening since he would be afraid of a PR nightmare. But if you have an economy with central planning, such stuff will be the norm everywhere, since noone will ever give a fuck about quality.

What matters is the scale, and the fact that a factory where such shit happens will go broke if the public learns of this kind of shit.

Yeah, I totally get that, but look at the numbers people float around for sttalin's purges, they are inconsistent and ipossible to judge rationally. If stalin was so happy purging folks by the thousands why the fuck crimean tartars and ukrainians who betrayed USSR and aided hitler en mass didin't get all slaughtered but instead were only forcibly relocated? Still a fucked up thing to do to an entire population for a crime of but a few but it shows that he wasn't an omnicidal lunatic many portray him as. Just a very paranoid man. I don't think we will ever truly know which way is up on that one and I dislike both the "Stalin did nothing wrong" and "Stalin killed 20million russians" sides equally as they are both clear exercises in propaganda.

> it was Stalin's fault the trotsky was a threat, if not for his coup - no threat of counter-coup.
And if it wasn't for lenin's own coup than there wouldn't have been a civil war between reds and whites.

And if it wasn't for the revolution there wouldn't have been a need for tsar to step down.

And.
And..
And..

You get the idea. Two russians can only have a constructive debate if they have one boss or have no conflict of interests whatsoever, it's a cultural problem, see.

The whole point is that this was a scandal that caused huge losses and lawsuits for the assholes who did this shit. In the Soviet Union noone would give a fuck since there were no economic incentives to give any.

But that's where you are wrong my man. If that was really true someone like gorbachev could have never come to power, and yet he did, by popular demand no less and without bloodshed.

The fact that you can't see control mechanisms of another system because of your blind hate for it, is your personal flaw, not that of communism or USSR

Dude do you have any fucking idea how long it took before America started regulating meat packing? It was not until the 1906, the conditions prior were arguably worse than what you described, because it was not just "one factory" or "one plant" it was widespread and chronic, and it was not until the 20s and 30s that meat packers even got unionized and improved the conditions such that they weren't risking their lives daily and got a fair wage and reasonable hours.

Even today you can see in capitalist countries that sanitation very often gets overlooked, which results in ridiculous recalls all the time. In Canada there was a baby food shortage just this past year because of a botulism outbreak that kept all PC brand baby food off the shelves for months, this was over half the entire stock of baby food at the grocery store I work at, gone for months, empty shelves because they didn't clean their equipment properly.

The control mechanisms were GOST government standards and various inspections. None of that can replace normal oldschool market competition and "free" regional press capable of destroying companies that sell sausages with rat meat.

You don't seem to understand that this is a normal part of capitalism and capitalism is going to give us another economic crisis (along with all the innumerable problems we currently have), one that will make the great depression look like child's play. Late state capitalism will not last forever.

> Dude do you have any fucking idea how long it took before America started regulating meat packing? It was not until the 1906, the conditions prior were arguably worse than what you described
I was talking about the fucking 70s, not about the shit in America 100 years ago. I am aware that during the 19th century the conditions were way worse than even what happened in the USSR in the 80s. It's called technical progress.

> In Canada there was a baby food shortage just this past year because of a botulism outbreak
Yeah, a local crisis causes temporal shortage which the market regulates in time. The Soviet system hat constant shortage, constant malpractice and as a result debt and buying grain in Canada, which lead to its inevitable end.

Again, your entire argument is based on a anecdote, making it retarded, USSR had plenty flaws GOST as a quality control wasn't perfect, but nor is the press that can be made to shut up with a big enough bribe or bought out wholesale by a corporation or "old school " market race to the bottom to produce and sell the shittiest possible product for the highest possible price

Wrong, capitalism by definition is an extremely inefficient system. Take agriculture in a capitalist system as an example. In a communist system, farmers just have to fulfill a quota based on how many mouths need to be fed. They don't have to worry about a salary because all their needs are met in return and they live comfy. In the EU, excess supply of food is literally burned and wasted as to keep supply down and prices competitive. In a free market, this would cause a collapse as farmers get insufficient profit to keep their farms up and running leading to widespread famine. This is just one example of the absurdity of capitalism. I bet you can think of other examples like with apple making a new iphone model every year.

Actually that's an excercise in planned economy for you mate. When ideology and keeping a union going without change becomes more important to the central gov you start seeing this absurdities crop up left and right.

EU might well be a neo-liberal institution to it's core but it shamelessly excercises planned economy with their very own import/export quotas on nations and their endless bureaucratic crackdowns on industries that go against the grain of their brand of utopia.

I already responded that these cases are not widespread and the companies that do these things face consequences.

> GOST as a quality control wasn't perfect, but nor is the press that can be made to shut up with a big enough bribe
First of all, every single country has some form of government standards for production. The thing is that having government standards + market competition is better than having only government standards. This is the reason why soviet-made consumer goods had undeniably shittier quality than western goods. Are you going to deny that obvoius fact, demonstrated by Lada vs any other car from the 80s?

> market race to the bottom to produce and sell the shittiest possible product for the highest possible price
Not necessarily the shittiest, capitalism is not only phidget spinners and fake brands made in China, it is also major innovations by Daimler and Siemens which lead to great equipment being made at reasonable prices, while central-planning always leads to Lada and rat sausages. Unless you have artificial competition within the central planning system like military construction bureaus had for military stuff, but that is not something you can afford to have for all consumer goods.

>communist system is more efficient

Communist collective farming killed over 100 million people in China and the USSR alone the last century. And that was on fucking accident. That's not including the murders of dissenters. I'm not even sure capitalism could do that if it tried.

THe issue with communism is there is no incentive to be efficient and every incentive to be greedy. In capitalism, at least greed helps out other people (want to make money = need to invent a good or service people want). And I don't think you understand the issues of supply and demand when a staple (food or water) is at issue.

It was by and large token support. Europe was already tired of war, anything extensive would have caused a severe backlash from the populations. Not to mention the big pain in the ass empire of the east was finally crumbling and looked like it would continue to crumble forever, removing a huge player from the great powers. WW1 was sorted the moment America joined. While socialism was still a bit of a taboo in some parts of Europe, a communal and worker spirit was already spreading among many populations, and fully striking out against socialist revolutionaries (no atrocities had been assigned to them yet and would not be until after Stalin's death) in what had been one of the most authoritarian dehumanizing empires around would have also caused a backlash towards the government (whole reason why our King didn't even want to safe harbor the Tsar and his family) who were already in precarious positions when it came to questions of social classes and the rising working class.

tl;dr other european powers were happy russia imploded

Here's what capitalism achieved in the US:

If you live in the US, you're automatically in the top 5% of the world just due to the ability of profit to go towards a common goal. Homeless here are better off than most poor but working in other countries.

If you make $30K, you're in the 1% ofthe world

Finally, you will never convince me that socialism or communism can be good (i've studied it waaaaay too much) until we've reached post scarcity. and even then i'd be skeptical. but guess what, that's not happening in the next 5000 years, so fuck off, you're an idiot for liking a failed economic principle

There's a reason why Gorbachev decided communism was stupid during his visit to USA: He saw grocery stores stocked full with things he's never seen before and wondered how that happened. It was explained to him that people buy what they want and people supply what people want to buy. A government doesn't know what people want, therefore a government cannot efficiently supply people with their wants.
