@juicyjames2074 "That’s doesn’t seem that different from US capitalism where employees are literally breaking their backs and dying in warehouse industries for a livable wage and yet we call that thriving…"
- In Capitalism they are free to quit. In the Soviet Union you were not. In Capitalism, the workers are free to try their hand in creating their own business since they are not actually forced to work for anyone but themselves. You are only a wage slave if you have the slave mentality. You are not forced to work for any corporation in the west. Do not sit here and think I should care about this kind of sob story. You are not forced to do this kind of work, so stop crying and go and do something that pay better if you don't like it. If you can't get anything better, maybe you can't produce anything actually worth paying any more for.
"Really, the issue in the world in this entire time is that the elites in general have been the only ones thriving."
- Funny definition. It seems you are saying thriving is the same as being rich. That is not thriving. I am a common worker, and I have plenty of money for my needs. I am thriving and have no worries. I am also not chained to some giant corporation and instead work for a small corporation with less then 10 employees. You just have a messed up definition, and that is your own fault as you have lost touch with reality.
"The USSR fell because Gorbachev established a multi-party voting system during a time where not only was his power and image damaged by a coup"
- What you said simply do not make sense. You do not have people that want to make coups if your nation is thriving. Things were bad long before then if you even get to that stage. Also. The coup was unsuccessful which is something you seem to forget. The decision to slowly democratize the USSR was not the only thing that brought it down. The core was already rotten and that decision only contributed to the collapse.
" but all these people were livid about being invaded by the iron curtain and other countries."
- I don't think you understand what the Iron Curtain was. The Iron Curtain was the Communist block. All communist nations didn't allow travel and trade into and out from the rest of the world, and the west especially. It is called the iron curtain because the boarders where protected by razor wire. A curtain of iron, razor wire iron. The nations within the Soviet Union were not invaded by themselves. The satellites maybe, but not the USSR. It wasn't invasions that brought the USSR down, but discontent among its own people. When elections and freedom was given, communism was rejected.
