where's your source that the eastern bloc was more prosperous than western europe?
👀👀
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
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

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?
