@ᴏᴠᴇʀꜱᴇᴇʀ ꜱᴛʀᴀꜱꜱᴇʀ This is the problem, you can't use these stats from the government. They're flawed via either falsification; inflation or bad data. It's something that happens to these types of states in the past and now (Cuba). But if we look at the data:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-43210257

Russia has more microwaves per capita; more cars per capita; lower poverty rate; higher life expectancy

A planned economy will naturally be inefficient, the Soviet Union was just an example of that.

Ask the russians retard.

Ruble worth is shit.

Oligarchs own monopoly on all of industry.

Not to mention its a personal dictatorship.

Russia must be so good thats the reason support for soviet leaders and economy keeps rising with every year.

Its funny to see you defend russian economy when its literally state capitalism, same policy Lenin used for building up the economy.

Except with "muh western and economic freedom values"

Russia is and always will be a shithole no matter what ideology they follow

As a Russian, I will attest that this is pretty accurate. A minority of the population lives pretty well, but most people are having a bad time (many are in denial about it though).

@ᴏᴠᴇʀꜱᴇᴇʀ ꜱᴛʀᴀꜱꜱᴇʀ @Dr.Cosby I ain’t defending the Russian economy, im saying it’s far bigger than before. If they want to improve their economy, they should free it up.

Russia is also more personally free and less of a “dictatorship” since before.

I can’t see one way Russia isn’t better than it’s previous self.

I mean like you could barely buy a car lmao back then.

Perma ban me

Same here, as a yugoslav majority are not living well, even tho some say it doesnt matter that life standards are worse that under socialism, as long we have our independence. (Nationalism n all)

Even tho both sides like Tito.

Sidi: AkCuAlLy

I mean, I'd rather live in Russia now than under communism

My parents had all kinds of things to tell me...

Certain things were better (like education), certain things were worse

But overall, any sort of authoritarianism or dictatorship makes me burn inside

That's the part I take the most offense with.

I’m not wrong, Yugoslav was a shithole too. Those countries are much better off now, but there’s lots of room for improvement.

AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Aww cmon man just as i was starting to see your points you make this claim and now all points you made so far have 0 meaning.

?

>yugoslavia was a shithole

>those countries are better now

Yeah im sure 5% of the pupulation agrees.

My dad is a war veteran that fought for independence even he agrees that life was much better under socialism.

The state of the country rn is disgusting.

Only people that think its better are americans and rich people who are just croatian by ethnicity and live overbroad lmao.

Why dont you go to china and tell them how opressed they are and how bad their system is?

Just avoid all the workers from taiwan that came there to have a proper job, education and live a good life.
