  1.  @julioz2900  "There is a large diference between a Soviet style of planned economy where there is no private property of the means of production, and a "Capitalist" economy where the State controls certain prices. Tha majority of european and latin American countries had such price controls, and were anti comunists, had nothing to do with Soviet Union. " This makes sense only if you equate "socialism" with "communism".

  2. Ignazio Silone relates this anecdote from the Cold War era. Silone was at the time of the incident a member of the Italian Communist delegation to the Communist International. During a meeting in Moscow, the English delegate was describing a problem that the British Communist Party was encountering with the British trade unions. His statement was interrupted by the Russian delegate, Piatnisky, who offered the obvious solution — that the British Communists should simply tell the trade unions one thing, but then do exactly the opposite. Silone continues: The English Communist interrupted, "But that would be a lie." Loud laughter greeted this ingenuous objection, frank, cordial, interminable laughter, the like of which the gloomy offices of the Communist International had perhaps never heard before. The joke quickly spread all over Moscow, for the Englishman's entertaining and incredible reply was telephoned at once to Stalin and to the most important offices of State, provoking new waves of mirth everywhere.
