  1. @Gipsy Danger especially when it's more like 40 million. You must also take into account Holodomir and post-war starvation, and civilians including those "internally deported" to gulags.

  2. famine after famine, massacre after massacre, mass incarceration after mass incarceration, why it's almost as if Marx advocated a Red Terror! oh wait. HE DID.

  3. If you want to see something frightening study the Russian demographic curve. Every 20 years or so they have an inverse spike. The children of those born in 1920-1930 are more or less nonexistent. Their would be fathers died during the war (so did many of that generations mothers). It's not merely a failure to economically recover, it's much more serious: a semi succesful genocide. Russia's permafucked, it's not entirely their fault, but lots of aspects of Russian culture caused and excarbate their population problem.

  4. Comparing the USSR economy in 1920 to the USSR economy in 1970 isn't really possible; not merely for accounting reasons but also because of trade policy and scientific progress. Lots of things were invented from 1930-1970 and many of them were consumer items. In terms of housing stock for population the USSR housing crisis ended by the 1960s. Which is as good as you can get for a measure because it's comparing the electronic age to the steam age. No steam trains in 1970! Diesels instead! Comparable? Not really. USSR economy was dysfunctional but not That dysfunction after Khruschev. It could have tottered on indefinitely without Reagan . Another reason it's incomparable is that all of Eastern Europe wasn't occupied by the USSR in 1920 unlike the USSR in 1970. It's like comparing apples with pears.

  5. why ever would Russia's neighbors want a foreign army in their borders? because Russia is still run by thieving lying drunken murderers. They just don't pretend to be communist anymore. Now they pretend to be Orthodox.

  6. Karl Marx wrote "The purposeless massacres perpetrated since the June and October events, the tedious offering of sacrifices since February and March, the very cannibalism of the counterrevolution will convince the nations that there is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terror." https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/11/06.htm So, Fuck You "sliceem".

  7. there's no guessing to it. The baby bust. The grandbaby bust. The great grandbaby bust.

  8.  TEXOCMOTP  yeah, holdomir even kulakization weren't intended to murder off masses of people. the sovs were vicious but well intentioned. they considered their vicious qualities as necessary evils forced on them by the material conditions etc etc.

  9. seriously the list of murder that goes hand in glove with marxist governments is really long. these are not like the killings other countries do which are generally limited to war or justified as penal sanctions. mass imprisonments, mass murder, it's like robbespierre purge him with a knife before he purges you with a pen logic.

  10. I was asked about 40 million: I was counting from 1917-1953 the entirety of the Stalin era drenched in blood.

  11.  @gumunduringigumundsson9344  A U.S.-China war isn't impossible. It would be regional, not global. U.S. and China will spar for global dominance across the planet for the next 50 years, but it will be cooperative and competitive, it's a dynamic the world hasn't seen before in technology but also in militant cooperation.

  19. ​ @manichaean1888  look sod, russia is characterized by chronic alcoholism, chronic criminality, an authoritarian government, and i don't think it's entirely the fault of six month long winters otherwise sweden and norway would also be hellholes. all that i wrote there is true whether its tsar or kommissar, even putin or peter. Russsia is permafucked. Fortunately they are no longer breeding. Good!

  20. overestimate output and finish shoddy goods in last year of 5 year plan, steal from work to give to your sweetheard during the first three years; everyone knew not to buy anything produced in the last year of a given five year plan. you just cannot measure an economy where bribery and theft are the norm.

  21. Nope!

  22.  Caliban777  it's not just the 6 months of winter, the alcoholism, the guns, the criminality of the state where organized crime is the government; it's not all entirely the fault of the Russians themselves. However, Russia is basically a dead man walking.
