how not?
read the links i posted
they built up the industrial sector through planning
they planned for imports
did you actually think they launched an industrial revolution that was purely native?
i mean sure some gulag labor was used but the vast majority would have been regular labor
their machine production was shipped from foreign countries
especially the US
the industrialization that they saw was nothing more than a product of them importing machine production, relocating labor and building mass infrastructure through immoral labor sources
the fall that they start seeing is when the source of those imports drop due to onset of the cold war
the soviet union could not support itself by native industry alone
dyno automod
youre using a banned word
hold up
what
lol say natsoc instead
a few words cause discords tos to flare up so we just have dyno remove em
n4zi is a banned word? cringe.
and the importation of machine tools occurred well before the lend lease on the onset of the 30s
yes but not for free
yes ofc
so what is the point you are trying to make
which is why i stated they just traded immense natural resources and human capital to obtain the capital to buy these things
that any system with the same resources couldve done the same at that time period
practically any system
well then how come a country like india that is rich with resources and human capital did not become superpower
like replace the soviet union with the polish government and you still probably see the same results
india was under colonialism
and their natural resources is far lower per capita
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
