Yeah. The problem in Russia has always been transition of power - there has historically been little consistency in effective rulership - effective leaders get replaced by incompetent leaders that undo most of the progress that has been achieved.
Putin recognizes this and is attempting reforms - lets see where this takes him.
Yeah i agree.
The soviet elite fucked their own country to access luxury - yachts, mansions and gucci clothing. The Americans had a better system of propaganda/marketing in place
Lol. Soviet union built the second strongest economy in the world in about 30 years, reaching a level it took America about 150 years to reach.
Of course the soviet union was behind as it had undergone numerous wars, constant pressure from enemy states, and had alot less time to develop than America.
Also, if capitalism was better than the centrally planned economy - why was the USSR economy ahead of that of other capitalist countries like UK?

@itiswr1tten looks like I got caught In the block wave too somehow. What a pussy I didn’t even say anything to him yet.
