Odd that communism pulled that off the moment that it adopted the market reforms documented and explored by western academics (and eastern ones too, to be clear -- just not doctrinaire Marxist and Maoist academics)
- llm_trw 2y agoOdd that the USSR grew faster in the 1980s than the EU did in the 10s and 20s.
- gruez 2y agoOdd for you to cherry pick two different time periods and regions to compare against. At least comparing china pre/post market liberalization you're not comparing between two countries.

- addicted 2y agoThe growth was fake which is why the USSR collapsed.
- inglor_cz 2y agoYou have no idea about conditions on the ground in the USSR in the 1980s. No meat, no consumer goods, people queued up for everything. The only thing that the regime could produce, besides weapons, were throughly false impressive statistics. Relying on Moscow for its growth figures is like relying on Charles Ponzi to multiply your savings. There is enough Eastern Europeans here on this forum that this kind of pro-Soviet misinformation won't fly here. We know precisely how things were.
