Excellent and insightful reply. Most people don't realize how much soviet planners admired American industry. Stalin admired Ford for example. Lenin said communism is socialism with electricity. Stalin's planners literally copied Gary Indiana to push the Russian Steal industry and hired many American engineers such as grandpa Koch to develop the oil industry.
