  1. The USSR was an economic disaster because it was unsustainable. Russia would be vastly better off imitating the CCP because that government is ideal for cultures incapable of managing high levels of personal freedom without turning into predatory systems (like every Russian system ever). Vast countries composed mostly of uneducated simple peoples require a strong central government which the USSR provided, but unlike the USSR the (post-Mao) Chinese government enforce real law and order while promoting better lives for the workers. Western style secular democracy is fundamentally EUROPEAN and only works in a tiny few cultures outside Europe. Democracy is a WEAK government designed for managing educated nations. Democracy cannot work in a nation whose entire culture is basically organized crime. Russia is not culturally European and only has a tiny land mass within Europe. A Chinese style government with management tools like an effective prison-industrial complex where inmates run nothing (and inconvenient inmates are deleted) is the only system suited to vast areas of primitive people. (Russian elites aping European culture since the 1700s mean nothing, they simply liked the ostentatious wealth displays.)
