it was prioritised in gosplan activities

but light industry still expanded heavily

The 5 year plans overwhelmingly focused on heavy industry

yes

and that was a great policy

if it was not heavy industry

I did not say agriculture etc. was banned but neglected

Because the NEP was completely needed to get out of a feudal mode of production and gain capital

ussr would be dead

it was all about getting a war industry

that heavy industry

was used

to produce

USSR didn't neglect light industry, that's a common myth

tractors

read about good A and B group

they both expanded

and general expansion of manufacturing sector

the same factories then produced tanks

The 5 year plans couldn't have happened if there wasn't sufficient capital to start with

capital was thanks to US aid

not thanks to NEP

You don't get how economics work nigga

you are first in the chat to dont know real NEP effects

wallstreet loved giving commies money

Ford built his factories there

so that's funny accusation

the foreign investment

accounted

10%

It's not hard for an economy to expand starting from a low point. Tsarist Russia had high growth

of total build up

completely wrong

ussr mainly needed the tech

Tsarist economy had 1-2% growth pa

It'd be surprising to see it not grow even with neglect

I'm not talking about foreign investment alone

while Stalin had 15%

Lmao

thanks to US

and planning
