So ask @Kalisme

commies are boring

ive seen them have this talk like 3 times already

If they grew faster and they were always as advanced why aren't they better by now?

they did become better baraban

No

0_o

They obviously didn't

i mean the data directly contradicts you

What data?

they overtook those countries in terms of gdp per capita and had disproportionately high standards of living for their level of development

China isn't a rich country by any stretch of the imagination

It's also really oppressed

@Deleted User Can you VC

Yea

Jeebus... things seem so serious right now... I just found out a long lasting Aussie radio station allows Australian bands to host a band page and songs for some sort of competition... I'm Australian and I wanted tips for a non-offensive (but theoretically offensive)-band name for a band that doesn't exist.

menatrix which part of that document backs up your claim

it's huge

See? Less serious.

bottom of this section on page 6

are you referring to the soviet gnp per worker being 38% of that of the us

The soviet union was unable to take utilize it’s natural advantages.

is that what you're referring to or not

I do not believe that is what this document refers to.

How about you read it.

i just wanna know if that's the data point you were referencing

What are people actually actually conversing about?

I referring to this whole document.

not exactly sure. I think they're trying to make the claim that the eastern bloc was economically succesful

?

I actually don't know about that specific thing at all...

mera when you say "Russia asked the US to come over and analyze what went wrong with their economy after the USSR fell, and it was found that they were operating something like at half the economic strength." surely there is a specific part of the document that backs up that claim

i said that eastern bloc countries grew faster than capitalist countries on average

Is it an arguement of growth?

according to what crude propaganda?

I was couldn’t remember what exactly number were, so I said that to bring attention to it assuming you would ask for the source, which I provided.

if they grew faster, they would have overtaken capitalist countries. They didn't.

Such a worldview should have shattered long ago, why are you clinging to it?

plenty of "experts" were not even the slightest bit critical of data coming out of the USSR. It's like they never knew propaganda was an actual thing.
