It's just another person not learning enough from history. Soviet Union actually looks better... before their fall

• bilbo0s 5y ago
  As someone who lived through the cold war, I can tell you the Soviet Union never looked "better". Maybe I was just the one crazy person who thought the Soviet lifestyle and society was dreary, but I don't think I was. If you think the soviets looked better, you're likely looking at the past through rose colored glasses. Most people would have done anything they could to avoid living that "better" soviet life.

    Many people literally lost their lives trying to escape that "better" soviet life style.

    At least in Germany, the communist part was actually looking better very early after the war. It was of course soon overtaken economically by West Germany.

  Conflating long-term, strategic planning with authoritarianism, as you have done, is perhaps part of the problem.
