would rule out things like "going to the moon" or "building roads". It's a pretty useless rubric.
I am not doubting the USSR fucked all sorts of things up. I'm doubting that that inherently means those things must be impossible.

- miketery 7mo agoUpdated - since my text was confusing. The subject at hand is subsidized grocery stores, the USSR is an example of failed centrally planned subsidized grocery stores.
- ceejayoz 7mo agoThe text isn't confusing; the conclusion you draw is just unsupported. The USSR is an example of many failed things. That they failed at those things does not mean those things cannot be done.
- miketery 7mo agoIf it wasn't confusing what made you bring up the space program and fixing roads? I was offering a tangible example of where the thing being proposed was a failure.
- ceejayoz 7mo ago> If it wasn't confusing what made you bring up the space program and fixing roads? They are examples of the USSR failing at a possible thing. They illustrate my critique of your claim.
