What otherside reported on Soviet agriculture statistics? There were only one side.
- gambiting 6y agoNo no, what I mean is - when the Soviet government reported that the wealth in the soviet union is the greatest in the world, everyone knew it was a lie. But the side effect of assuming that everything the government says is a lie was also assuming that everything coming from the West is also a lie. So yeah, maybe we don't have the best quality of life - but surely Americans also don't, their TV also lies just like ours.
- soco 6y agoI lived on that side of the iron curtain and I didn't see this type of argument. The West was quite The Place To Be for everybody I knew.
