RUDE

ok

dude 50 year olds can be cringe

anyone can

boomers are by definition cringe

but the fact is stalin created economic miracle, that wasn't solely his job, but he was the architect behind it, that's why western countries and even the eastern like Polish Kwiatkowski, Goering, Hitler, or Nobosuke Kishi in japan were fascinated

and instituted planning in their countries

goering's office of the four year plan was truly a huge success..

yes

in late 30s a lot of countries copied USSR economic policies

saved by stealing neighbour's gold reserves twice

even after war a lot of states copied it

state capitalism also was used in south korea

like france

france had planning office until late 90s

france is france

and communists had finiancial ministry for a long time

mercantilism is in their dna

that wasn't mercantilism

Miterrand wanted to even prelong this

It's not an economic miracle to focus growth on heavy industry by reducing consumption (consequences of that aside) and neglecting investment in other parts of the economy.

and passed a bill of major nationalisation of banks and industrial sites

wrong

USSR didn't reduce consumption

that's simply a fake news

Ah of course

so you're saying they always had low consumption because they were the bottom dregs

in fact consumption before the war expanded for like 1/4 and that's conservative estimate

When export grain rather than eat it, how does that not reduce consumption

not to mention noncountable changes

like housing and education

those aren't included in consumption and still show standard of living

exporting grain to buy silk to make parachutes and watching ukrainians die

genius economics

stalin cut the grain exports when crisis developed

/\

that's true

but

explain your point what you mean by "export rather than eat"

USSR was net exporter of grain because it was simply producing more it could consume for most of the time
