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
they had to trade for them
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
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
Yeltsin's coup was backed by the bourgeoisie
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
