America didnt feel it

the ussr was the better system

But Mario that's because they were uncontacted by outside economy as well

i wish america was like the ussr

(except for the "russian crisis" of 98)

"the ussr was a utopia" - @Deleted User

No other state wanted contact with a communist one

USSR had frequent consumer goods shortages actually

It wasnt so bright as it seems to be

any shortages wouldve also happened under capitalism

russia wasnt a rich country before the ussr ya know

Not really

US has had nearly no consumer goods shortage under most of its history for instance

the ussr literally turned a undeveolped nation into a devolped one

@ClibtardMario it has alot of farmland

Except world wars, great depression and I dont think so about civil war

@Deleted User GDP and industry doesnt matter when it doesnr serve the consumer

*do not

In fact

Most of USSR industry was directed to military

@ClibtardMario Portugal had severe shortages during our dictatorship, which heavily supported monopolies for example

So the consumers faced frequent shortages

@Hervepärka Supporting monopolies (corporatocracy) is a thing

@ClibtardMario the ussr had to have a big economy because no one would leave them alone

its your fault lol

Letting them develop and keep businesses away from govt lobby is another

@Deleted User >My dault

*fault

<:GWchadMEGATHINK:366999806343774218>

and the only people who starved were farmers refusing to work

if i refuse to eat and die whos fault is that @ClibtardMario

So its people's fault if they are willingly poor under a capitalist society too

i.e. not seeking a jon

*job

Or not having one to choose, or not being accepted

not everyone has that choice

Technically

Usually half of the unemployed people on a country are seeking a job

the other half isnt

And the latter isnt shown on the common jobless data (U-3)

Or is it U-4? idk
