Wars got in the way.

2017-06-23 23:55:53 UTC  

yeah that big cold one

2017-06-23 23:56:18 UTC  

Imagine if Russia was never communist

2017-06-23 23:56:30 UTC  

It could have been one of the largest economies in the world

2017-06-23 23:56:38 UTC  

Maybe larger than that of the US

2017-06-23 23:57:00 UTC  

on the flip side it could have stayed as incompetent as before the world wars too

2017-06-23 23:57:07 UTC  

when they got BTFO by japan

2017-06-23 23:57:31 UTC  

Well it would have become some kind of right authoritarian government

2017-06-23 23:57:35 UTC  

Imagine if Stalin wasnt a homicidal maniac. Even communist, russia could have been great.

2017-06-23 23:57:38 UTC  

other than monarchism

2017-06-23 23:58:16 UTC  

"even communist" thats the thing, its always spearheaded by a maniac, because only a maniac would do so. its a catch 22

2017-06-23 23:58:27 UTC  

Right

2017-06-23 23:58:33 UTC  

The thing about Russia is that collectivism and serfdom was so ingrained into their culture that I think Communism was the only thing that could have changed them positively

2017-06-23 23:58:58 UTC  

eh they were and are fucked regardless

2017-06-23 23:59:20 UTC  

thats what happens when a bunch of slavs are in the middle of an icey wasteland

2017-06-23 23:59:27 UTC  

Imagine those serfs under the leadership of a racial monarchy.

2017-06-23 23:59:43 UTC  

there would be no "racial"

2017-06-23 23:59:49 UTC  

Well western Russia is hardly an icy wasteland

2017-06-24 00:00:01 UTC  

at least 4 months of the year

2017-06-24 00:00:08 UTC  

tru

2017-06-24 00:00:28 UTC  

@Guan what do you mean " no racial"?

2017-06-24 00:00:32 UTC  

They just can't utilize the warm months well because everything becomes a marsh

2017-06-24 00:00:35 UTC  

lol

2017-06-24 00:00:42 UTC  

why would a racial government be necessary

2017-06-24 00:00:49 UTC  

They have a word for it

2017-06-24 00:00:59 UTC  

Masirovka?

2017-06-24 00:01:13 UTC  

its when all the soil becomes mud from the snow

2017-06-24 00:01:31 UTC  

hence wasteland lol

2017-06-24 00:01:40 UTC  

i mean its survivable

2017-06-24 00:01:46 UTC  

it's no sub-sahara

2017-06-24 00:02:14 UTC  

Rasputitsa is the word

2017-06-24 00:02:26 UTC  

Masirovka means camoflauge

2017-06-24 00:02:29 UTC  

The Romanovs were revolted by the serfs. If they had felt a racial kinship, then an ethnic based monarchy would have flouriahed.

2017-06-24 00:02:34 UTC  

rasputin + tits i like it

2017-06-24 00:02:38 UTC  

yeah

2017-06-24 00:02:59 UTC  

Rasputitsa (Russian: распу́тица; IPA: [rɐsˈputʲɪtsə]) is a season when travel on unpaved roads becomes difficult, owing to muddy conditions, either from autumnal rains or spring thaw. It also refers to the condition of the roads, during those seasons

2017-06-24 00:03:09 UTC  

imo @Manimalia idpol is a new concept that has no place in big boy government, but i know a lot of people would disagree

2017-06-24 00:03:20 UTC  

so 4 months of the year is habitable

2017-06-24 00:03:26 UTC  

yeah that sounds miserable

2017-06-24 00:03:34 UTC  

spring and autumn are basically winter in Russia

2017-06-24 00:03:51 UTC  

It makes defending Russia easy though
