Siberia and the Caucasus represent near endless oil and coal
compare that to germany who had little oil but good quantities of coal and even they were gimped
italy who neither even more so
well it is true they had lots of natural resources but then explain how tsarist russia wasn't so powerful in their time
Britain only got by due to human capital of india
and how modern russia is way less powerful even than russia SFR
tsarist russia didnt exist in the post depression where the US was seeking to expand in exports through machine tools
and russia doesnt exist in pre opac world
and pre china world
you are putting to much emphasis on the US trading with USSR
They would have succeeded even if the US had closed off trade
LOL no
they declined because the world shut off trade
they collapsed because of it
no they collapsed due to revisionism
like im not saying Stalin didnt intelligent things
saying they collapsed due to revisionism is an ideologically and ahistorical viewpoint
like saying Rome fell due to christianity
its cringe
wrong. Capitalism was brought back to the USSR and class contradictions led to its fall
stalin did good things like actually build industrial bases rather than just relying on foreign production
but thats about it
dude it wasnt even capitalism and they literally just tried to decentralize cause they state couldnt bear its own weight
im not a large fan of capitalism
no gorbachev fucked the economy up with his privatisation reforms
but the soviet alterative was a neat experiment that failed at best
it was fucked before then
hell you can just read about the economic stratification
i'm a critic of the brezhnev era as well
k
if they had kept a stalin-era system the USSR would still exist
i doubt it
<:trump:517652683168153601>
Khrushchev wrongly assumed that the USSR economy would maintain the same growth as stalin era
ussr would not be kept under any circumstances.
It was pure dictatorism
And youre bla bla nonsense
Because you like commies
If i could i would definitely keep the centralized production for the military sector state controlled
