I havn't read any of it yet and I have no idea what they define by "socialist" but judging by this -
it's stupid because just pointing out a single example is not as useful of a metric as comparing aggregated data, furthermore i could do the same and point out specific famines that occured under capitalism
Deny it, please. I needed a laugh.
capitalism does seem better
High come countries are only capitalist
weird, almost like poor countries are more likely to become socialist or something π€
o, itβs actually because socialism makes countries poorer
no it doesn't
No, it's almost like socialist countries are more likely to become poor
why did eastern bloc countries grow faster than comparable capitalist countries
on average
How can you possibly look at this table and come to the conclusion that socialism is better?
I actually just popped in to ask a really dumb question, but yeah... socialism seems to never help the poor, the working poor or the working class.
it usually does
how so?
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.
Eastern block countries grow faster because they have more room to grow
source mera
And you can hardly consider them to be socialism anyway
i've heard sargon say that shit multiple times and he has never provided a source
That makes perfect sense
why would they have more room to grow compared to countries that had the same gdp per capita on average
History and countries are a pretty good source... go sell socialism to Venezauila.
venezuela isn't socialist
Because they aren't as advence, but they are catching up
what's your dumb question
how are they not as advanced baraban
where's your source that the eastern bloc was more prosperous than western europe?
ππ
i'm talking about comparing eastern bloc countries to a selection of capitalist countries that fell within the eastern bloc's gdp per capita range in 1950
They are obviously less advanced
And the gap was bigger
they weren't less advanced they were the same
but eastern bloc countries grew faster
I"ve walked in a bit late, what exactly are you refering to? I Just wanted to ask a dumb question.
No they weren't
notice all the stuff in that document that got better as the soviet union reformed and edged closer and closer to capitalism.
whats your dumb question tho
So ask @Kalisme
