marxism-leninism is the only realistic way for humanity

nah

An overly centralized economic management sector without proper divisions run by an ideologically exclusive yet culturally inclusive vanguard party will just lead to ruin.

some centralisation is efficient

"some"

sure

depending on how its done

there is an argument to be made that the USSR was overcentralised and in future we should have more regional autonomy

totally centralized system under a party like the soviets is setting yourself up for failure though

well the economy of the USSR was incredibly successful

industrialised rapidly

and great improvements in conditions

no, quite the opposite, it only grew during 1930s-40s due to great transfer of machine tools and enforced labor for mass infrastructure projects like the canal

as you can see here the USSR growth was better than USA

even more so during the 30s concerning the US companies selling out product

Maddison project also gives greece the same gdp as great britain

what about the highway

this is what i was referencing to forced labor and machine tools import

basically they just traded their human capital and land resources for imports of machine production

i don't see how

and created the infrastructure that supported their entire system through means we would deem unreasonable

how not?
