They had an impact yes

An important characteristic of global economics in the 20th century is that socialist system was almost entirely shielded from the capitalist system and vice versa

Btw mario can I pm you for a side thingy?

no

Ofc Herv

so your saying

if the ussr was capitalist and America socialist wed get the same results

but reversed

No

lol

than false equivlency

lol

Saying that if America had an economic crisis, USSR wouldnt feel much

In fact

When 1929 and great depression happened

USSR didnt feel ot

*it

And when USSR fell into their great depression

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
