@everyone
WHo is krushev
a corn hoarding revisionist
Explain
his de-stalinization program damaged the soviet union's industry and led to the decline of the economy
after stalin's death in 1953, niktia changed the stalinist economics policies which want good for the country
@Deleted User a traitor to the working class.
@wiggles You sure you're not forgetting the war?
You know what cost the GDP climb between '26 and '56 came with? Five-year plans, millions dead from widespread famines, a major world war, and deadly political repression
The soviet union declined only after Stalin's highly oppressive regime, because the only way socialism really works is when the entire population is essentially enslaved to the government and their ideology.
@aeon#2560 are you anti-soviet? A traitor to the proletariat?
haha kekistan
haha funny meme
"a traitor to the proletariat" lololol already doing the ideology lingo
yup workers paradise, im sure pol pot would be proud
Venezuela isn't socialist
Venezuela nationalized the oil industry, that's about it
And it worked quite well until 2014
When the oil market crashed
the CAPITALIST oil MARKET
oooh scary
Point is Venezuela isn't doing bad because of socialism they're doing bad because of the instability of global capitalism
And to debunk your statement that socialism only works when forced, the CNT FAI in Catalonia were borderline anarchist and were still able to implement socialism, without killing or oppressing or forcing people, and they did so even better than the countries that did force socialism.
And @Shalton#3556 the soviets were about as traitorous as they get, they turned a corrupt oligopoly into a corrupt monopoly with the name "republic" slapped on it
Failed capitalism isn't socialism
^
I mean come on, even Fox News admitted that Venezuela's economy was still dominated by capitalist markets.
And I mean, even if you try to argue that the less than 30% of the market that was nationalized made it socialist, I have an essay to pull up that explains why nationalization is not socialistic in the least bit
Written in the 1930s by an anti soviet socialist
Venezuela isn't "failed capitalism", it's had adopted socialist policies since Chavez. And the oil industry isn't the only sector they nationalized, food distribution itself is controlled by the government, and that hasn't worked out at all, the government can't even feed it's own people with rations, and people can't even buy toilet paper because the factories are occupied. It's not a real democracy nor is it really market capitalism if the government is controlling most aspects of economic life for Venezuelans.
Here ya go
It did just fine until the oil market crashed
