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

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
