Bro, I've got a tent. I'm guessing OH has a tent. We can just get drunk and sleep in the ditch. It's not too late for you.

No.... But I'm not trying to argue for a capitalist
utopia. And it's more than just not utopian. It's not useful in any way to pontificate on why and how the soviet union grew so fast while intentionally ignoring the victims it robbed to do so. |

Don't you do the same thing when you try to get people to admit that capitalism has done good things?

@ bat
No cause globally it has done certain things to increase the standard of living. The soviet model of rapid industrialization did nothing fundamentally different other than direct all their productive capacity towards the aims of the state. It was a sound strategy, militarily. Economically less so. Millions had to die in sacrifice. Where as capitalism had down sides, and I believe is unsustainable long term, but the industrial model is driving down the price of goods so that a higher general quality of life is possible on a worldwide scale. It goes hand and hands with technological innovation though so it's not like capitalism as such is soley responsible for the quality of life. It's mainly responsible for stream lining the process of manufacturing and assembly. Last edited by jwb; 09-21-2019 at 03:31 PM. |

You accused elph of using that video you two are arguing about as a sneaky way of promoting the Soviet Union because it only talks about the ways in which the Soviet economy worked. I'm accusing you of hypocrisy because you do a similar thing with capitalism.
