All ex commie countries were better off during communism.
The Soviet Union had high birth rates, low diversity as people were more or less segregated among ethnic lines, high quality education, state subsidized high quality health care and loads of other shit.
There is a reason that as soon as the USSR fell the jews in the west started cutting off all the perks they had given so far to the goys underneath them.

It's actually still shitty in all the former Soviet countries. The big difference is now we can leave and go to better places with better housing, infrastructure, and job opportunities. The Soviet Union was above all else a prison. Although an awful lot of jews got out curiously. And went to America.

If you ask the people who survived, they'll tell you it was survivable. The people who tell you it was fine are talking about after Perestroika, which they will also spit on because those liberalization reforms also destroyed the union. I think Gorby is alright because he managed the inevitable without killing tens of millions. If you count the current conflict as his fault, we're only talking about ~2M dead. Could have been much, much worse. Anyway, in America I watched a 40 year old woman show up to work on painkillers (from an on the job injury) demanding she be allowed to work because she can't miss a paycheck. So when you hear an old Russian say the Soviet Union was fine, just imagine an American boomer telling you the same thing about current America but also imagine that literally 10s of millions of people are dying in a GULAG and no one's willing to talk about it.

LMAO you could make a company and everything you wanted you just had to go through the state and the party to get licensed.
Corruption is everywhere in every society. The main thing you should look at is just the living standards of the people and their purchasing power, in modern ex commie countries maybe 2 percent of the population is living better but the rest have a much much lower purchasing power and shittier education and other conditions.
Just because muh gdp is higher does not mean shit as inflation and the horrid distribution of wealth leads to total destruction.

I think the one thing that fucked over USSR was not being able to own your realestate. It could've regulated like 1 per adult, but ownership should have been allowed. When commies came, they took our horse. When commies went, they took our home. Suddely we were homeless. China allowing ownership is proof this is the right idea.

Yugoslavia had the best model but sadly it was being run by 5 different ethnicities that were constantly stealing from the system and not properly managed.
It was the best mix of both systems and allowed a lot more economic freedom to the average person. This left room for entrepreneurs to make it and to also be kept under control.

China just copied what Musolinni and Hitler did and works with their corpos and has them by the balls.

Entrepreneurship was illegal, period. It got a bit looser for very small basically solo businesses after perestroika.
Of course every system is corrupt.
But if you have centrally organized economy there is obviously waaay more opportunities for corruption which was fully utilized.
Purchasing power? Buy what exactly? Everybody wanted products from the west, it was a luxury. Even if you somehow managed to get money for a house, there was a 60m2 limit to its size.
For everyone who isnโ€™t a complete loser, the quality of life became way better almost instantly after gaining independence. It has nothing to do with gdp.
I mean according to my parents and grandparents yes it wasnโ€™t a complete nightmare, but any decent person would choose capitalism and freedom any day of the week. And Estonia was one of the best places in USSR to be.
Idk where you drank that commie coolaid, but youโ€™re way out of touch.

Growing up, I was friends with kids whose parents moved from the USSR in the 80s. They were chemical weapons scientists working on top-secret stuff, which meant they got access to the VIP stores reserved for the elites that had all the best stuff in the biggest quantities, and you didn't have to line up in the snow at 4 AM to try to get a loaf of bread when the store opens because it'd sell out in an hour. They flew to Italy first and then to the US.

They said that walking into a little Italian supermarket was like dying and going to heaven. They couldn't believe it was possible for a store to have so much good food that just anyone could go in and buy. Then they came to America and got to see American supermarkets, which are 10x the size and have 50x as many products. Basically the same as when Yeltsin got shown some random Texas supermarket and kept asking if it was some ultra-VIP store for billionaires, and then cried on the flight home because American janitors were eating better than Soviet generals.

Anyway the dad said thank God Communism was destroyed, and that if anyone seriously tries to bring it back here we should kill them. I wonder if they're still around now.

You were 100% incorrect about fertility and entrepreneurship in Yugoslavia (it was regulated to fuck and there was an inescapable hard cap on how many employees you could have, at 3 until 1965 and then 5 until 1983 when it became 10).

It improved vastly by the time of the jews being targeted and removed but it was too little too late.

Russia pre Bolshevik revolution under Orthodox monarchy is actually something I would encourage people to read about and look into. They were arguably one of the most insane cultural juggernauts in all of human history. Music, art, literature, some of the greatest of all time were flowing out of Russia in the 19th century. An Orthodox Christian nation having such prestige and influence made them a prime target of Bolshevik jews and their Angl*id backers and is why they became such a key target to dismantle and overthrow, hence the genocide of millions of Orthodox Christians and destroying churches immediately after the revolution. Russia returning to that status is why the modern west continues to keep them contained.

No, they had to import it and the quota on China is part of what caused the Sino-Soviet split.

It's perfectly doable to work while on painkillers. Taken properly, they at most have the effect on two beers. The prescription stuff is nothing like fentanyl.
Boomers used to show up to work after some beers, and drink beers during work, into the 90s.
And maybe she really needed the paycheck because that company was jewing her on worker's comp.

The Soviet Union ceased to exist because it spent all its foreign exchange reserves on grain and, after the oil price crash of the 1980s, was relying on Western loans and bailouts to continue to do so. It didn't crush the satellite rebellions in the late 80s, as it always had before, because it was told by the west that if they did so, they wouldn't get any more loans to buy food with.

Depends on the period. According to Russian boomers the 60s and 70s were comfy as fuck although every one was poor. The 80s were difficult but bearable. And in the 90s everything went to shit when the system collapsed and Weimar-style corruption was rampant.

Maybe that's just nostalgia talking, people tend to look back at their youth with rose-tinted glasses.

As someone who actually experienced life in the late Soviet Union, no, it was quite good up until 1991. Only russophobes and liberashkas want you to believe that it was bad, it definitely wasn't some paradise, but it was better than what came after it. Maybe after our victory we will live in the Soviet Union again, at least that's what I and millions of people hope for. Capitalism has proven to be terrible.

Ungrateful nigger, Warsaw and rest of Poland was mostly bombed to the ground by Germans and Allies not Soviets, however after WW2 Russians in 1946 sent you trains of grain and best engineers to, for example, restore your warsaw fucking castle (bombed by germs to rubble) back to it's medieval glory accroding to original blueprint. You fucking scum. Next - your rulers were your commies, scume beltoid, yours, comprende? I am not even mentioning extension of your shithole purely by Stalin goodwill with German cities when you were not victors but losers of WW2. He could have gencoided you easily for concentration camps, you niggers, starved to death 50-75 k soviet POWs during your attack on freshly-formed USSR in 1918. But no, he let you be, creating your country from ash + expanding it +feeding you niggers when Russia had post-war famine and 27 millions killed (mostly civilians).

Next - USSR collapsed voluntarily, nigger. It could easily take tanks and steamroll your solidarity party into asphalt, but merciful Gorbachev just let you go for free. USSR also took all debts of newly emerged countires on itself.

More I see your flag, more I understand Russian empire and then USSR made a mistake by keeping your vermin kind alive. Next time would be last, nigger.

He's absolutely correct, though. Without Soviet aid after WWII, Poland would be poorer today than Cambodia or Ethiopia. Stalin allowed Poland to exist and helped rebuild it from the ground up, even though the Poles have been ungrateful throughout their independence. He could have just make Poland join the Soviet Union as a SSR, as many generals, including Rokossovsky, a Pole himself, suggested, but he decided to let Poland be independent.

They blew a lot out of proportion as the kike media loves to do, but life during the soviets wasn't good either, it was pretty bad, here in romania we had it pretty gay even if we were a mere puppet state. Cold winters with no heating or hot water, rationed food, forced labor, it was all a process of improving the economy for the state, while cutting on every comfort of the population, abusing them, restricting their rights and freedom.
Not that under capitalism it's better, both communism and it are run by the same jews. Capitalism in the USA is the next step and evolution of soviet communism, adapted to a democratic country as bolsheviks and other kikes fled to the USA during and after WW2.

Soviets invaded in 1939 with the Germans, murdered a bunch of people and shipped a bunch more to Siberia. USSR had just lost a war with Poland after WW1 and was very interested and making up for that.
