And at this point if the US weren't such a capitalist worshipping dystopia and we were to start trying to transition into socialism/communism we could probably succeed or at the very least do it better than the soviets.
It's not like we have another America to try and destroy us at every turn. China wants communism and Russia doesn't seem to care. We could honestly boost our slowly failing empire by forcing private industry to actually pay workers and treat them like human beings.

We didn't get richer than britain through economic policy. We inherited a global empire after winning the war and all the other major European powers except the soviets lost theirs. |

Not exactly, but I'm saying the USSR probably industrialized as quickly as it would be possible to do so. If they opened themselves up to the global economy the way China did there would be a number of issues with that. 1) it goes directly against the state ideology which at the time was attempting to produce a system that rivaled western capitalism, not imitated it. 2) industrialization was already happening and if they went the normal capitalist route it would've been a much more gradual process. Then you get to the part about being less authoritarian... As in having actual elections and ****? The bolsheviks would've been voted right out of power. So the combination of embracing the market while being less authoritarian basically leads to just another western capitalist country. Which again.... You really do confident that after the "stage of capitalism" happens there will be another window for revolution? They thought this about western europe in 1848 and here we are still waiting..... |

I don't know how I can be any more clear by what I meant with less authoritarian. Like not banning art and oppressing people's rights to free speech. The main difference would be they'd be doing capitalism with the goal of communism in mind. Like China who has already started to transition. Isn't social democracy huge in western Europe anyways?

But isn't communism the most missed poster of all?
